Use Export Checkout when a Data Catalog selection becomes a quoted file order. The flow should preserve the market, schemas, date range, estimate or quote, payment or credit context, delivery state, and support identifiers so the resulting files are traceable after purchase. Export checkout is a product flow, not a public REST contract. The public OpenAPI bundle does not expose export checkout routes, so programmatic clients should use documented market-data routes or contact Enterprise for scheduled/custom delivery.

Checkout Model

Login And Return Path

If checkout requires login, preserve the selected market, schemas, date range, and estimate so the user returns to the export flow or dashboard without rebuilding the cart.

Delivery Expectations

Data Catalog exports are file-style products delivered as Apache Parquet with ZSTD compression. Treat the dashboard job state as the place to check readiness, file format, download links, and support context. The dashboard export list is an authenticated product view and can filter abandoned pending quotes; keep the export detail page as the source for a named job. Dashboard status values include pending, paid, processing, completed, and failed. Common orders may show as ready in 1-2 minutes, but the dashboard state is authoritative. Completed exports remain available from the export detail page for 30 days. Individual download links expire after 7 days and can be regenerated from that page while the order remains available. User-visible labels can differ from raw status values: pending maps to Awaiting Payment, paid maps to Queued, processing maps to Processing, completed maps to Ready to Download, and failed maps to Failed.

Checkout State Checklist

Use this checklist to connect the browser checkout flow, billing state, and export files.

Error And Support Fields

1

Keep the job ID

Support should be able to locate the export order by job ID.
2

Keep the selected items

Store market, venue family, schema keys, UTC start, and UTC end for every checkout item.
3

Keep billing context

Preserve subtotal, credits applied, total, and whether checkout was Stripe-paid, credit-covered, or partially covered by credits before card charge.
4

Keep data-rights context

Record whether downstream use passes the transformation/source-exposure test and whether any benchmark, index, financial-product, standalone/substitute, raw-redistribution, white-label, or OEM use has written permission before shipping.

When To Use API Instead

Use REST, WebSocket, SDKs, CLI, or MCP when the job is recurring application behavior. Use Data Catalog checkout when the job is a file purchase or bulk historical delivery. Use Enterprise when the buyer needs custom delivery, custom limits, scheduled export operations, security review, or written terms for a named route set. Use Export schemas, Data catalog, Rate limits, and Enterprise delivery together when a browser export becomes a recurring production workflow.
