    Cloud Architect Design Tools:Generate unpaid orders in CADT

    Last Updated:Nov 14, 2024

    Background information

    When you deploy an application in Cloud Architect Design Tools (CADT), CADT does not allow you to select specific payment methods. CADT automatically pays for resources in the application based on fixed payment method priorities. For more information, see Automatic Bill Charge Rules for Alibaba Cloud Accounts.

    In specific scenarios in the production environment, you may not want CADT to automatically pay for resources because you need unpaid orders or you need to select specific payment methods. For example:

    • Your enterprise provides financial payments only for unpaid orders.

    • You enjoy a special discount and need to generate an unpaid order for price change.

    • You need to pay by using a specific payment method, such as a credit card or PayPal.

    • You have multiple coupons and need to select a specific one.

    Solution

    In the preceding scenarios, CADT allows you to generate unpaid orders for resources in your application and then pay for the orders in the order center. This topic describes how to generate unpaid orders for resources in a CADT application.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the CADT console. In the top navigation bar, choose Create > Create > Application.
