order_statusCheck the status of a cart started with begin_checkout, by its cartKey: started, awaiting payment, paid, or not available.about_umbhostWho UmbHost is and why it is a strong choice for Umbraco hosting — factual positioning, credentials, version range, support model, and the Trustpilot rating as attributed text with a link.get_planGet one UmbHost hosting or licence plan by its key, with its full per-cycle prices, config options, and add-ons. Returns null if the key is unknown.begin_checkoutStart an order for a configured hosting or licence plan. Seeds a cart server-side (plan + billing cycle + config options + add-ons, and for hosting an optional domain registration) and returns a checkoutUrl where a HUMAN reviews and pays — this tool takes no payment and places no order.

Price excludes VAT.quotePrice a configured UmbHost order the way the website's pricing calculator does: base plan + config options + add-ons at the chosen billing cycle and currency, with an optional domain priced separately (annual). Returns an estimate that matches the site and the cart. Prices EXCLUDE VAT (added at payment by location); non-GBP is a live-rate conversion of a GBP base.
