From draft through payment, capture, and refund. ## What is Order Management? The Dintero Order Management API lets you create and manage orders independently of payment. Payment is handled by your payment system — the Order Management API records what has happened (authorized, captured, refunded) but does not execute payment operations itself. ## Order lifecycle Create a draft order with line items. The order is not yet active and can be freely modified. [POST /accounts/\{aid}/shopping/draft\_orders](/api-reference/draft/aid_draft_orders_post) Complete the draft to make the order active and assign it an `order_id`. [PUT /accounts/\{aid}/shopping/draft\_orders/\{id}/complete](/api-reference/draft/aid_draft_orders_id_complete_put) Authorize the payment in your payment system. Then record the authorization on the order to mark funds as reserved. [POST /accounts/\{aid}/shopping/orders/\{order\_id}/authorizations](/api-reference/orderauthorizations/aid_orders_id_authorization_post) Capture the payment in your payment system. Then record the capture on the order to keep the order state in sync. [POST /accounts/\{aid}/shopping/orders/\{order\_id}/captures](/api-reference/ordercaptures/aid_orders_id_capture_post) Refund the payment in your payment system and record the refund on the order, or cancel an uncaptured order. [POST /accounts/\{aid}/shopping/orders/\{order\_id}/refunds](/api-reference/orderrefunds/aid_orders_id_refunds_post) [POST /accounts/\{aid}/shopping/orders/\{order\_id}/cancel](/api-reference/orderstatus/aid_orders_id_cancel_post) ## Guides How to combine the Order Management and Checkout services.
