# Auto-create on submit

By default a submitted order sits in **Pending** until you review and confirm it. If you'd rather skip that step for trusted buyers, turn on auto-create.

## Turn it on

**Orders → Draft Orders → Settings → Auto-create draft order & send invoice on submit.**

## What changes

| Setting           | Buyer submits →                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Off** (default) | Order sits in **Pending** → you click **Confirm & send payment link** → invoice sent. You control price/terms before anything goes out.                                 |
| **On**            | The Shopify draft order is created and the payment link is emailed **instantly**. The order is already **Invoiced** and the buyer sees a **Pay now** button right away. |

The payment term is still resolved by the same [cascade](/orbit-b2b-docs/draft-orders/payment-terms.md) (group default → shop default), so auto-created orders get the correct terms automatically.

## When to use it

* **Good for:** trusted repeat buyers, low-risk catalogs, high order volume where manual review is a bottleneck.
* **Keep off for:** stores that need to check stock, pricing, or credit before a payment link goes out.

## Safety

If auto-create fails for any reason (e.g. a Shopify API hiccup), the order safely stays **Pending** so you can confirm it manually — nothing is lost.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://orbit-b2b.gitbook.io/orbit-b2b-docs/draft-orders/auto-confirm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
