# Step 6: create an order

Now that you know how to create a quote, let's try creating an order. An order can be for an internal currency exchange and/or an outbound payment. In this example, we'll be making a payment.

<Info>
  All quotes expire after 12 seconds, so you may want to create a new one before trying this request.

If your request is successful, you'll receive a `200` response. In production, you'll also receive `OrderCreated`. `OrderCompleted`, `BoxCredited`, and `BoxDebited` webhooks (not necessarily in that order). In sandbox, an order is never marked as completed — so you'll only receive the `OrderCreated` webhook.
