# Method name: createOrder(_id: string, options: CreateOrderOptions)

# Method package: wixEcomBackend

# Method menu location: wixEcomBackend --> checkout --> createOrder

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-ecom-backend/checkout/create-order.md

# Method Description:

Creates an order from a specified checkout.

The `createOrder()` function returns a Promise that resolves to the new order's ID and `paymentGatewayOrderID` when the order is created.
Pass the `paymentGatewayOrderId` as the `paymentId` param to the [`startPayment()`](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-pay-frontend/startpayment) function to allow a customer to pay for their order.

> **Note:** The following requirements must be met for an order to be created from a checkout.
> + A checkout cannot have calculation errors. Pass the `checkout._id` to [Get Checkout](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-ecom-backend/checkout/getcheckout) and take a look at the `calculationErrors` field.
> + A checkout must have at least 1 line item.
> + All of the line Items have an `availability.status` of `"AVAILABLE"` or `"PARTIALLY_AVAILABLE"`.
> + If there is a payment to be made, meaning that `priceSummary.total` is greater than 0, the `billingInfo.address` field must be provided.
> + When a checkout has line items to be shipped, the `shippingInfo.shippingDestination.address` and `shippingInfo.selectedCarrierServiceOption` fields must be provided.
> + When a checkout has line items for pickup, the `shippingInfo.selectedCarrierServiceOption.logistics.pickupDetails` field must be provided.
