How ordering works

Ordering in Expanse Panel means creating a new order in the team you have selected. The panel checks the plan, location, and options you pick, then takes you through payment (or account balance, when allowed), and then provisions the service. You always see the same high-level path whether you are buying a game server, a VPS, a domain registration, or another supported product.

Before you click “order”

Select the right team in the team switcher. Services and their invoices follow the team, not a hidden “personal” bucket.
Pick the product line (game, VPS, domain, and so on) and the plan that matches what you need. If you are new to a product, read the short overview in the help center first (Game servers or VPS, for example).
Read the line items and period (monthly, yearly, and so on) on the order screen. Totals and taxes are explained in Checkout and payment and Taxes and VAT.

What the panel does

Step	What it means for you
Order created	You have committed to a cart; payment may still be pending.
Payment confirmed	We can start provisioning, subject to stock and fraud checks.
Provisioning	The system creates the service in the location you selected. This can take from minutes to longer for some products.
Active (or service-ready)	The service is available in your list with the right controls, once the product reports ready.

Exact labels can vary slightly, but the idea is: order → pay → we build → you use it.

If you start from the website

The marketing site may link you to the panel to finish configuration and pay. In every case, you end in Expanse Panel with a normal order, not a different kind of “shadow” order.

Cancellations and changes

Some changes need a new order (upgrade, different region) rather than a button that edits the old service in place. See Cancellations and order changes and, for money already paid, the billing articles on Refunds where those rules apply to your case.
