+### Responding to a state transition
+
+Once an order has successfully transitioned to a new state, the [`onTransitionEnd` state transition hook](/reference/typescript-api/state-machine/state-machine-config#ontransitionend) is called. This can be used to perform some action
+upon successful state transition.
+
+In this example, we have a referral service which creates a new referral for a customer when they complete an order. We want to create the referral only if the customer has a referral code associated with their account.
+
+```ts
+import { OrderProcess, OrderState } from '@vendure/core';
+
+import { ReferralService } from '../service/referral.service';
+
+let referralService: ReferralService;
+
+export const referralOrderProcess: OrderProcess<OrderState> = {
+    init: (injector) => {
+        referralService = injector.get(ReferralService);
+    },
+    onTransitionEnd: async (fromState, toState, data) => {
+        const { order, ctx } = data;
+        if (toState === 'PaymentSettled') {
+            if (order.customFields.referralCode) {
+                await referralService.createReferralForOrder(ctx, order);
+            }
+        }
+    },
+};
+```
+
+:::caution
+Use caution when modifying an order inside the `onTransitionEnd` function. The `order` object that gets passed in to this function
+will later be persisted to the database. Therefore any changes must be made to that `order` object, otherwise the changes might be lost.
+
+As an example, let's say we want to add a Surcharge to the order. The following code **will not work as expected**:
+
+```ts
+export const myOrderProcess: OrderProcess<OrderState> = {
+    async onTransitionEnd(fromState, toState, data) {
+        if (fromState === 'AddingItems' && toState === 'ArrangingPayment') {
+            // highlight-start
+            // WARNING: This will not work!  
+            await orderService.addSurchargeToOrder(ctx, order.id, {
+                description: 'Test',
+                listPrice: 42,
+                listPriceIncludesTax: false,
+            });
+            // highlight-end
+        }
+    }
+};
+```
+
+Instead, you need to ensure you **mutate the `order` object**:
+
+```ts
+export const myOrderProcess: OrderProcess<OrderState> = {
+    async onTransitionEnd(fromState, toState, data) {
+        if (fromState === 'AddingItems' && toState === 'ArrangingPayment') {
+            // highlight-start
+            const {surcharges} = await orderService.addSurchargeToOrder(ctx, order.id, {
+                description: 'Test',
+                listPrice: 42,
+                listPriceIncludesTax: false,
+            });
+            // Important: mutate the order object
+            order.surcharges = surcharges;
+            // highlight-end
+        }
+    },
+}
+```

 ## TypeScript Typings
 
 To make your custom states compatible with standard services you should declare your new states in the following way:
