# Order Assignment

> How orders are assigned to eligible merchants

Order assignment is constrained by merchant and payment-channel checks.

## Assignment Criteria

Merchants must pass all of the following checks to be eligible for order assignment:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Online/offline state" icon="power-off">
    Merchant must be marked as online
  </Card>

  <Card title="Status checks" icon="user-check">
    No blacklist, dispute, or unstake-request status
  </Card>

  <Card title="Capacity checks" icon="gauge-high">
    Ongoing-order capacity checks
  </Card>

  <Card title="Channel status" icon="circle-check">
    Payment-channel active/approved status
  </Card>

  <Card title="Volume limits" icon="chart-line">
    Daily and monthly volume checks
  </Card>

  <Card title="Liquidity thresholds" icon="coins">
    Fiat and stake-backed liquidity thresholds
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Deterministic Assignment

Assignment is deterministic and on-chain. The checks are layered so that a single failing condition removes a merchant from the candidate pool without affecting others.

<Warning>
  If you're not receiving order assignments, verify that you pass all eligibility criteria. Even one failing check will exclude you from the candidate pool.
