Order Controller

    $products = $data['products'];

    foreach ($products as $productData) {
        $orderProduct = new ProductOrder();
        $orderProduct->product_id = $productData['product_id'];

        $orderProduct->order_id = $order->id;
        
        $orderProduct->save();

        // reduce the stock level
        $product = Product::where('id', $productData['product_id'])->first();

        $product->save();
    }

        return  $order;

ProductOrder

class ProductOrder extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $primary_key = "id";
    protected $table = "product_orders";

    protected $fillable = [
        'product_id',
        'order_id',
        'qty',
    ];

    public function product()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Product::class);
    }

    public function order()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Order::class);
    }
}

Order

{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $primary_key = "id";
    protected $table = "orders";

        'total',
        'client_id',  
    ];

    public function client()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Client::class);

Try dumping out $data['products'] like so:

dd($data['products']);

Make sure there's actually anything there to loop through. You can also add try/catch blocks around the orderProduct and product creation and log any exceptions you catch.
