# Orders

The Orders resource in the Merchant API offers a comprehensive solution for managing the lifecycle of orders within your e-commerce or retail platform. Designed to streamline order processing, this resource encapsulates a suite of operations that allow for efficiently handling order management-related tasks. For more information about the order lifecycle, see: [Order and payment lifecycle](/docs/guides/merchant/reference/order-lifecycle).

These operations are equipped to handle various order management scenarios, providing a robust interface for businesses to interact with their order data.

To process a payment related to your customers' purchases, you need to create an `Order` object. Then you can use an order's unique `token` to process and accept payments via the Revolut Checkout Widget.

:::warning
The [Create an order endpoint](/docs/api/merchant#create-an-order) was updated to a new version and now returns `token` as the public identifier for the order. Previous integrations might still use the deprecated endpoint returning `public_id`.

We strongly advise upgrading to the new [Create an order endpoint](/docs/api/merchant#create-an-order).
