Message Type	Description and Usage
Ask	Use this message to ask a question to another florist. Do not use this message for price changes – use the Price Change message instead.
Price Change	Use this message to request a different price for an order. It can be initiated by either the filling florist or sending florist. If a sending florist initiates the message, the filling florist must respond with an Answer message with the same amount as requested for the order price to change. If the filling florist does not respond with the same amount, the original order price will stand. If a filling florist initiates the message, it serves as a request to the sending florist for additional funds. If the sending florist agrees, the sending florist must send a Price Change message indicating the new amount, and the filling florist must respond with an Answer message with the new amount. Otherwise, the original order price will stand.
Answer	This message can be used for two purposes: As a response to an Ask message, enabling you to answer a question sent by another florist or FTD.com. As agreement to a Price Change request. The amount for this message must be the same as the incoming Price Change request; otherwise the original amount for the order will be used.
