UPDATE
How to add select option ?

Answer 1

you can do something like this
CHOICES=[('item1','item 1'),
('item2','item 2')]
class OrderCreateForm(forms.ModelForm):
postal_code = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES, widget=forms.RadioSelect())
....
class Meta:
model = Order
fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'address', 'postal_code', 'city']
similarly, you can do for the other field also
and for checkbox, you can define it as a BooleanFileld and you can use
{{ form.paid }}
in you template.

Answer 2

The form will be rendered with the field types you define in the model:
BooleanField is rendered as a checkbox, paid in your case.
ChoiceField can be rendered as radio buttons with the appropiate widget.
You can redefine the widgets in class OrderCreateForm:
CHOICES = [('option1','label 1'), ('option2','label 2')]
some_field = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CHOICES,widget=forms.RadioSelect())
