# Draft Orders vs Regular Orders
This guide explains the differences between creating split orders as draft orders versus regular orders.
***
### What is a Draft Order?
When you enable "Create split orders as draft orders" in the Advanced settings, OrderSplit Pro will first create a draft order and then convert it to a live order. This approach has several advantages and disadvantages compared to creating orders directly.
***
### Advantages of Draft Orders
#### Multi-currency Support
Split orders can be created in the same currency as the customer's original order. This is particularly useful for international stores where customers pay in their local currency.
#### Editable Orders
Split orders created via the draft order method can be edited after creation. This gives you more flexibility to make adjustments if needed.
***
### Disadvantages of Draft Orders
#### New Order Number Required
Split orders created via draft orders will always have a new order number. They cannot retain or follow the original order's naming convention in the same way as regular orders.
#### Order Confirmation Email
When a draft order is converted to a live order, Shopify will send an order confirmation email to the customer. This cannot be disabled through the app.

### Which Should I Use?
| Scenario | Recommended Method |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| International store with multiple currencies | Draft Orders |
| Need to edit split orders after creation | Draft Orders |
| Want to avoid sending extra emails to customers | Regular Orders |
| Want split orders to follow original order naming | Regular Orders |
***
### How to Enable Draft Orders
1. Go to **Settings** in OrderSplit Pro
2. Navigate to the **Advanced** tab
3. Enable "Create split orders as draft orders before converting to live orders"
4. Save your settings
