API and integration
Order type
Last updated by The PanelCompare editorial team
Why does order type matter to a buyer?
Every order needs a service ID and a link. What else it needs depends entirely on the type, and the requirements are not guessable: Custom Comments wants a newline-separated comment list instead of a quantity, Poll wants an answer number, Mentions variants want usernames, hashtags or a media URL, and Web Traffic wants a country, device and traffic type.
For a buyer ordering by hand the type is usually invisible because the form adapts. For anyone integrating, it is the field that turns a working script into a stream of errors the moment a panel adds a service in a type the script does not handle.
How does order type show up in a price list?
It arrives as the type field in the API services response, most often the string “Default”, and it drives which inputs the order form renders.
Package rows are worth noticing: they take only a link, because quantity is fixed by the package, so the rate column is the whole price of the order.

Think this definition is wrong?
Terminology in this market is set by the panels that use it, and it moves. If a panel uses order type to mean something other than what is written here, send us the listing and we will either correct the definition or record the variant. The process is on the about page.
