Hi, I asked [the same question a few months ago](https://forum.litium.com/t/create-order-from-code-l8/2590), and now I have to revisit the question.

The [same problem](https://forum.litium.com/t/create-order-from-code-l8/2590/4) still occurs.

The following error is logged from the payment app (DirectPay):

```auto

```

This error is pretty logical, as I just create the payment in Litium, I’m not manually sending anything to the payment app. Not really sure how to achieve this?

I’m using `PaymentService` to create the actual payment in Litium. Then I manually create an Init transaction and an Authorize transaction (using `TransactionService`), both connected to the created payment. Finally I link the payment to the order.

Litium version: 8.3.1

What is the use case for these orders? Are they offline orders being synced to Litium?

I’m not sure if you can ensure the payment being created in the app if you’re doing it this way.

Another way is to create the order by using a cart context. This will call the payment provider app and create the transaction.

```auto
var cartContext = await _cartContextFactory.CreateAsync(new CreateCartContextArgs
{
	ChannelSystemId = channel.SystemId,
	CountryCode = country.Id,
	CurrencyCode = currency.Id,
	MarketSystemId = channel.MarketSystemId.Value,
});

foreach (var variant in variants)
{
	await cartContext.AddOrUpdateItemAsync(new AddOrUpdateCartItemArgs
	{
		ArticleNumber = variant.Id,
		Quantity = 1,
	});
}

// must come after adding products to cart
await cartContext.TryInitializeCheckoutFlowAsync(() => new CheckoutFlowInfoArgs
{
	CheckoutFlowInfo = new CheckoutFlowInfo(),
});

await cartContext.AddOrUpdateCustomerInfoAsync(new AddOrUpdateCustomerInfoArgs
{
	CustomerInfo = new CustomerInfo
	{
		FirstName = "Test",
		LastName = "Test",
		Email = "test@example.com",
		CustomerType = CustomerType.Person,
		// PersonSystemId = ,
		// OrganizationSystemId = ,
	}
});

var address = new Address
{
	FirstName = "Test",
	LastName = "Test",
	Address1 = "Testgatan 1",
	Address2 = string.Empty,
	ZipCode = "12345",
	City = "Test",
	Country = "SE",
	Email = string.Empty,
	PhoneNumber = deliveryAddress.PhoneNumber ?? string.Empty,
	MobilePhone = deliveryAddress.PhoneNumber ?? string.Empty
};

await cartContext.AddOrUpdateDeliveryAddressAsync(address);
await cartContext.AddOrUpdateBillingAddressAsync(address);

await cartContext.SelectPaymentOptionAsync(new SelectPaymentOptionArgs
{
	PaymentOptionId = new ProviderOptionIdentifier("DirectPayment", "DirectPay"),
});

await cartContext.SelectShippingOptionAsync(new SelectShippingOptionArgs
{
	ShippingOptionId = new ProviderOptionIdentifier("DirectShipment", "standardPackage"),
});

await cartContext.ConfirmOrderAsync();

```

Hi,

Yes exactly, these are orders that are coming from the customer’s ERP which they create manually.

Thanks, I will try the CartContext way!

I have some trouble when actually confirming the order, with an exception being thrown:

```auto

```

If I just place the order using `await cartContext.PlaceOrderAsync()` the order is created correctly, but the payment looks invalid? If I set `Confirm` to true in PlaceOrderArgs, the order is still created as Init.

The problem was related to a validation that has been removed in 8.4+ [Removing the "sales.validation.productprices.haschanged" validation in the checkout](https://forum.litium.com/t/removing-the-sales-validation-productprices-haschanged-validation-in-the-checkout/2542)
