# Create order tutorial

1. **Choose direction**: `order_type` 0=ONRAMP, 1=OFFRAMP.
2. **Pick token address**: see `/meta/tokens` in the API Reference.
3. **Provide fiat payload**:
   * `PHONE` works for both ON/OFF ramp.
   * `TILL`/`PAYBILL`/`BANK` are **off-ramp only**.
4. **Submit** `POST /orders/create` and capture `tx_hash`.
5. **Track** via `/orders/tx/{tx_hash}` and **webhooks**.

> For OFFRAMP, the contract allowance must be sufficient. Otherwise you’ll get **400 insufficient\_allowance** with `{required,current}`.
