Summary	0010568: Contradictory and confusing docs for GET [/instances/$INSTANCE]/orders/$ORDER_ID
Description	Several issues with the documentation for "Querying payment status" https://docs.taler.net/core/api-merchant.html#querying-payment-status 1. "This endpoint is for the wallet" — but the note in "Creating orders" linke here and thus implies that e.g. web-shops shall use this end-point, too, for querying the status. - What is the endpoint web-shops and ERPs shall use to query the status? - Maybe the note in "Ctreating orders" needs to point to the "private" endpoint? 2. "StatusUnpaidResponse … // Status URL, can be used as a redirect target for the browser // to show the order QR code / trigger the wallet. fulfillment_url?: string;" Well, the wallet is already open, as this is what queries this endpoint, isn't it? And "fulfillment" is not "status"
