# Orders

> Create, list, buy, and cancel NFT orders with advanced trading features

## How Orders Work

The Orders API provides complete trading infrastructure for NFT marketplaces:

1. **Order Creation** - Create buy or sell orders with signatures and parameters
2. **Order Matching** - Execute trades between buyers and sellers
3. **Settlement** - Handle payment processing and NFT transfers
4. **Order Management** - Cancel, modify, or track order status

## Integration Workflow

### 1. Order Retrieval

Access comprehensive order information by hash including status, pricing, timing, and participant details.

### 2. Order Creation

Create listing orders with custom pricing, timing, and fee structures. Includes automated signature generation and order validation.

### 3. Order Execution

Execute purchase transactions from existing listings with automated payment processing, NFT transfers, and settlement.

### 4. Order Management

Manage trading operations including order cancellation with automated validation and on-chain transaction processing.
