Shopify order webhooks

I looked into the different order webhooks and was wondering when they are triggered. This is what I figured out so far:

orders/updated

orders/create

orders/create

orders/paid

orders/fulfilled

orders/cancelled

Since orders/updated is also fired whenever the other hooks are fired, it seems as if adding an update webhook would be good enough for keeping a local datastore synced to the shop data. However, I want to confirm that my understanding of those webhooks is correct, i.e. is it true that orders/updated is always fired whenever an order changes in any way. and that the other webhooks are just aimed at more specific use cases?

orders/updated

orders/updated

I'd say for sake of keeping the code easier to understand it would be in your best interest to handle the appropriate webhooks just to keep the code easier to understand.

If all you're doing is tracking really general stuff, it's probably fine.

Also, on all state changes of an order the orders/updated webhook is fired.

orders/updated

orders/update
