I'm trying to figure out a couple of things about custom and system order types.
1) Is there a way to attach a system order type to a custom order type in the admin UI or it can only be done via API?
2) Where/when exactly system order types are used? Both as a separate entity or as a part of a custom order type.
The thing I'm trying to understand is what are the reasons for attaching system order types to custom order types. What would I be (or not be) able to do in case I (don't) attach them?
1) I don't believe so, it needs to be done via API.
2) Have you seen https://docs.clover.com/reference/merchantgetsystemordertypes? It may be better for you to tell us what you are trying to accomplish, rather than asking where system order types are used.

Yeah, i have seen that. Tha't actually the origin of my questions. I'm developing a let's say a marketplace where we are going to take orders/payments on behalf of our clients. So I'm trying to understand whether we should map custom order types to system order types for our clients. Looks like they won't be able to do it on their own and by default every new client would not have these mapped.
In order to understand that I'm trying to find out what possibilities that would give to the clients. Is there anything that depends on the system order type in the clover admin UI (or in the payments processing logic) for example? Or is it meant just for development purposes, whatever they might be?
another related question here: are system order types the same for any clover account? Is it needed to keep track of them for every customer? Do they ever change?
