# 2026-03-16: Order Service - checkout property for sales orders

## Overview

The sales order resource has been extended with a new `checkout` boolean field.

* This field can be provided only when creating an order.
* It is included only in tenant-managed order responses (not in customer-managed order responses).
* When set to `true`, it enforces that only one order can be created per cart ID.
* Orders created through the checkout flow have this flag set to `true` by default.
