# Purchase Workflow Overview

The XCover platform enables efficient, flexible, and compliant offer and sale of any line of insurance within a partner web experience.\
Some examples include:\
\- A public facing Online Travel Agent selling flight and accomodation packages, with related travel and cancellation insurance.\
\- A merchant facing shipping management platform selling parcel and shipping insurance.\
\- An ecommerce retail marketplace facilitating sales and offering warranties and or insurance policies for relevant products.\
\
In most integrations XCover policies are attached to one or more main products or services.\
An example of main product is a laptop purchased from an online store, flight tickets, hotel reservations, etc.\
Depending on the partner integration, the insurance offering is typically placed in the main product booking path.\
\
Common Request Flow:\
1\. Quote\
The initial status after the Quote Request is `RECEIVED`\
\
2\. Booking\
After customers complete the booking process and insurance premiums are collected by the partner a request to the booking endpoint must be made.\
A `CONFIRMED` INS is considered booked, sold, provisioned, and will result in a policy confirmation being submitted to the user.\
\
A simple example of such integration is demonstrated below.
