Log in to your OVHcloud Control Panel
 and go to `Network
` > `OVHcloud Connect
`.
## Order via the OVHcloud Control Panel

1. Click <code className="action">Order</code>.
2. Select <code className="action">OVHcloud Connect Direct</code>.
3. Choose your **PoP location** from the list of available sites.
4. Select the desired **bandwidth** (1, 10 or 100 Gbps).
5. Fill in the **technical details**:
   - Your ASN
   - Preferred VLAN ID (if applicable)
   - Contact information for LOA delivery
   - Any special instructions for the data centre cross-connect
6. Review the **pricing and contract terms** (minimum commitment period, monthly fee).
7. <code className="action">Confirm</code> the order.

You will receive an email confirmation with your order reference and estimated delivery timeline.

## Order via the API

You can also order programmatically using the [OVHcloud API](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=%2FovhCloudConnect\&branch=v1).

```python
import ovh

client = ovh.Client(endpoint='ovh-eu')

# Example: list your existing OVHcloud Connect services
# Check the API console for the exact endpoint and parameters
result = client.get('/ovhCloudConnect')
print(result)
```

Refer to the [Automation guide](/es/guides/network/ovhcloud-connect/automation.md) for API setup instructions.

## What happens after ordering

![What happens after ordering](/images/network/ovhcloud-connect/order-direct/fig-1.svg)
1. **Order confirmed** — You receive an email with your order reference.
2. **LOA delivered** — OVHcloud issues the Letter of Authorization **within minutes** of the order. The LOA contains the data centre details needed to install the cross-connect.
3. **Cross-connect installed** — Give the LOA to your data centre operator. They install the fibre patch cable. Timing depends on the facility (a few days to 2 weeks).
4. **Port becomes active** — Once the cross-connect is in place and OVHcloud detects light, the port becomes active and the service is delivered. You can now configure BGP and associate with your vRack.

:::warning

After the order, you have **60 days** to finalize the interconnection (order the cross-connect and connect your equipment). Beyond 60 days — even without detected light — the service is considered operational and **billing starts**.

:::

## Pricing and billing

- OVHcloud Connect Direct is billed **monthly**.
- Pricing depends on the PoP location and bandwidth tier.
- A **minimum commitment period** may apply (check during ordering).
- Cross-connect fees from the data centre operator are separate and billed by the operator.
