"Thank you for your request for out product.". If you could paraphrase this sentence, what would you write?
is it the same as "thank you for ordering our product?"

"Thank you for ordering our product" means that you are paying or demanding that product. While "requesting for our product " might indicate a request or asking for more info or to take advantage of a free offer from the manufacturing or advertising company. So the latter doesn't necessarily indicate any monetary transaction or exchange or money changing hands yet. In addition, requests might not be fulfilled. or denied. Orders are obligated to be complied.

I'd imagine they mean the same in the context you've shown, but it's funny wording. Request is to ask for something, order is to demand. Requests can be more easily denied, orders are fulfilled unless you have a good reason.
You might call the restaurant you frequent, and request they put some nice flowers on the table prior to you showing up with you spouse. It's not something they normally do, and there may be any number of reasons they can't or won't.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, you order a bottle of champagne from their wine menu. It's something they normally carry, and the restaurant's core function is to sell and provide the goods they display on their menu. For them to deny you that which they normally offer is unusual.

Means the same thing. They are thanking you for wanting their product.

Basically, yes. Request and order can mean the same thing.

personally, i feel the way that sentence is worded, the person who did the asking for the product, could have also just ordered a free sample or something...but that is my high school english teacher rubbing off on me. lol.
"Thank you for your interest in our product"...I would say something like that.

yes. your 'request for' the product is the same as your 'order for' it.

Hello, you obviously sometime asked for this product. Request for means you have asked for it or sent away for it.

Request in this instance = ask or asking.
Thank you for asking for our product. (Would be the paraphrased sentence.)

Almost, however it's almost like you only asked for, havn't actually paid for it. If you did pay for the product though, yeah it's just about the same thing.
