Order Requests

Order requests are used in the following cases:

1. If customer asks you to add extra work to the current order.
2. You want to change the order’s start and/or end date.
3. Get an order progress update from the Pro.
4. You want to cancel the order.

Each case has a corresponding order request type. There are four types of requests:

1. Additional work request (option available only for Pro account).
2. Change order time.
3. Provide a progress update (option available only for Customer account).
4. Request other party to cancel this order.
