Order Management

How to create and manage your GPU rentals on Clore.ai.

Creating an Order

1. Pick a server on the marketplace and press Rent.

2. The rent dialog walks you through three steps: choose a Docker image (or one of your saved templates), configure it (ports, environment variables, SSH key, Jupyter token), and Confirm & pay. At the last step you either rent on-demand at the listed price or switch to Rent on spot and place your bid.

3. Confirm to pay from your balance (available currencies depend on which coins the server accepts). If you are not signed in or short on funds, you can sign in and top up right inside the dialog, no need to leave checkout.

On servers showing an N/M GPUs free badge you can rent a subset of the GPUs and pick them in the GPU allocation step. See Partial GPU Rental.

Billing & Costs

How Billing Works

• On-Demand: Charged per minute while the order runs; terminate anytime to stop the charges

• Spot: Charged per minute at your bid price while your offer holds the server

Cost Breakdown

Each order shows:

• Base rental cost

• Platform fee

• Total paid

Creation fee: a small one-time fee applies per order (see Fee Structure). It is charged only if the order stays active longer than 10 minutes, so quickly cancelled orders pay none.

Refunds

• Early termination: You stop paying immediately

• Server issues: Contact support for potential refunds

Communication with Host

In-Order Chat

1. Open your active order

2. Use the Chat feature

3. Communicate directly with the host

When to Contact Host

• Server not responding

• Specs don't match listing

• Need specific configuration

• Technical issues

Order Logs

View what happened during your rental:

1. Open order details

2. Go to Logs section

3. See events like:

   • Order created

   • Server started

   • Connection established

   • Termination reason

Tips for Managing Orders

1. Monitor active orders - Check regularly for any issues

2. Set budget alerts - Track your spending

3. Save server favorites - For easy re-rental

4. Review before extending - Make sure you still need the server

5. Terminate promptly - Don't pay for unused time

Common Questions

No, rentals run continuously. Terminate and create a new order if needed.

What happens if I run out of balance?

The order will be terminated after a grace period (~5 minutes).

Can I transfer an order to another user?

No, orders are tied to your account.

How long until I can access a new order?

Usually 2-5 minutes after order creation.
