# Equipment Order

The **Equipment Orders API** allows you to create, retrieve, and delete equipment orders for a merchant.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before creating an order, ensure you complete the equipment configuration survey for the selected product.
{% endhint %}

Once you create an order, the Xplor Pay generates a unique order ID. The order status changes as it progresses through the process.

Before submitting an equipment order, complete the [equipment configuration survey](https://docs.xplorpay.com/api-reference/api/merchant-onboarding/onboard-merchant/equipment/equipment-configuration-survey) and include the required boarding tags and survey responses in the equipment order request.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can delete an order only when its status is `Active` or `Submitted`.
{% endhint %}
