What Is a Combined Order?

A combined order is generated when you place multiple instances in one order for batch purchase, renewal, specifications changing, unsubscriptions, and billing mode changing (Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly). In the combined order, all instances must be paid or canceled together. After the combined order is paid, these instances can be managed separately.

You can view the combined order details, such as the order name and combination type, on the Billing Center.

There are 3 combination types:

• Combined service: Multiple instances are purchased and used together.

  An example is as follows:

  You placed a yearly/monthly subscription order for an ECS with the system disk, image, data disk, shared disk, EIP, and bandwidth resources added. A combined order is generated, including three resource types: an ECS (including images, system disk,s and data disks), shared disks, and VPCs (including EIPs and bandwidths). These three resource types are enabled independently, and each cloud service can be renewed, changed, or unsubscribed separately.

  Resource type 1: ECS (including images, system disks, and data disks)

  Resource type 2: EVS disk (shared)

  Resource type 3: VPC (including EIPs and bandwidths)

• Batch management: Multiple instances are managed in a batch, such as renewal, specifications changing, unsubscription, and billing mode changing (Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly).
• Combined purchase: Multiple instances are purchased from the cart or during a promotion, for example, in Double 11 Shopping Day.
