What this is
Device ordering and fulfillment tracks through the hardware_orders and hardware_order_items tables, alongside user_addresses for delivery — a genuinely more complex flow than app purchases, since a physical device needs shipping information and fulfillment tracking an instantly-delivered app never requires.
How it works
An order references its line items through hardware_order_items, with delivery handled against a user's saved address in user_addresses — a developer building on this needs to account for the full physical fulfillment lifecycle, not just payment capture.
Holding BOT for this path
Same commerce-category BOT holding requirement for development access — hardware orders themselves may also support BOT as a payment method depending on final pricing structure, a separate consideration from developer platform access.
