# Reserve the delivery promise
When a customer proceeds to checkout, and before payment is completed, Future Ordering sends a `WaitingForReservation` event with information about which delivery to reserve. The `deliveryId` is the same as the `promiseId` you provided when creating promises.

```json
{
  "id": "a3f2b1c4-5d6e-7f8a-9b0c-1d2e3f4a5b6c",

Respond to the reservation endpoint with the result of the reservation.

`POST delivery/{orderId}/reservation`

### Failed

```json
{
  "status": "Failed",
  "estimatedPickupTime": "0001-01-01T00:00:00+00:00",
  "estimatedDropOffTime": "0001-01-01T00:00:00+00:00",
  "errorInfo": {
    "code": "RESERVATION_REJECTED",
    "message": "The delivery service provider rejected the reservation request",
    "data": {
      "reason": "no_couriers_available",
      "storeId": "store-a1b2c3"
    },
    "innerError": null
  }
}
```

### Success

```json
{
  "status": "Succeeded",
  "estimatedPickupTime": "2026-04-17T11:00:00+00:00",
  "estimatedDropOffTime": "2026-04-17T11:45:00+00:00",
  "errorInfo": null
}
```

Once a successful reservation is received, the user experience continues with payment and then order placement in the POS.
