Expiry control is the order-ticket clock.
Timer mode sets a duration, while Clock mode sets an exact expiry time. The ranking rewards visible minimum, maximum, and step-level control before confirmation.
How we rank this category
This ranking compares expiry separately from the overall score.
What to compare
Platform values, product controls, payment rules, and stated conditions are assessed together.
Expiry rankings compare minimum expiry, maximum expiry, whether users can choose duration or exact clock time, and whether the order ticket makes settlement timing visible.
A higher position in this category is not a safety, legality, or suitability verdict.
