Checkout is how you pay the down-payment that’s required before your bid can be reviewed or your reservation can be activated. It does not happen after the Ornn team accepts a bid; it’s part of starting the order. When you complete checkout, Ornn:
  • Records your billing details for the tenant.
  • Depending on the checkout target, creates the underlying bid or pending-payment reservation.
  • Issues the applicable Stripe-hosted invoice: a down-payment, an initial payment, or the full contract amount. For a bid, the invoice is always the down-payment; initial-payment and full-contract invoices apply to non-bid checkout targets such as a pending-payment reservation.
  • Sends you the invoice link by email and exposes it in your Account → Billing.
You pay the invoice via Stripe-hosted card or ACH (US bank account). Once the down-payment settles, your bid moves into the active review queue or your reservation becomes confirmed and ready to launch.

​
The checkout flow

1

Start checkout from a bid or reservation

Initiate checkout from the reservation form (after submitting a bid) or from a pending-payment reservation in your portfolio. Ornn opens the checkout page pre-filled with the order summary: GPU type, quantity, operator and site, term, price per GPU-hour, estimated total, and the down-payment amount.
2

Confirm billing details

Confirm the invoice email (where Stripe sends the invoice) and the billing address for your tenant. Both apply to the invoice that’s about to be issued.
3

Generate the down-payment invoice

Submit the checkout. Ornn creates the underlying record (a new bid or pending-payment reservation, depending on the checkout target) and generates a Stripe-hosted invoice for the down-payment. You receive the invoice link by email and can also open it from Account → Billing.
4

Pay the Stripe-hosted invoice

Open the Stripe-hosted invoice and complete payment by card or ACH (US bank account). Settlement timing depends on the payment rail you use.
5

Order proceeds

Once the down-payment is settled, the bid moves into review or the reservation becomes ready to launch. The Ornn team reviews active bids and promotes accepted bids into confirmed reservations.
Checkout does not select an access mode. VM and Bare Metal are configured later from the reservation detail page (/portfolio/[reservationId]). See Choose how to access your Ornn compute.

​
Billing details captured at checkout

FieldWhat it controls
Invoice emailWhere Stripe delivers the down-payment invoice and future invoices for this tenant.
Billing addressThe legal address printed on the invoice.
To change either later, contact the Ornn billing team at billing@ornn.com.

​
Payment

Checkout invoices are hosted on Stripe and support card and ACH (US bank account). The Stripe-hosted invoice page is the source of truth for payment status; once it shows paid, your order moves forward.

​
Alpha caveat

Checkout is in active development during the Ornn alpha. If anything in your order needs hands-on coordination, the Ornn team will reach out directly.
