custom orders

Made-to-specification purchases

Custom orders are products or services made or modified according to a buyer's specific requirements, rather than purchased ready-made from existing inventory.

The term appears frequently in retail, manufacturing, and craft contexts where businesses accommodate individual preferences for size, color, materials, or design.

The bakery accepts custom orders for wedding cakes.

Custom orders typically require longer lead times and may cost more than standard items.
