You can't order a battery for your iPhone. Apple doesn't sell parts. And you can't, nor should you attempt to open it. If you want to have the battery replaced in your iPhone, you schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar or actual Apple Authorized Service Provider and pay them to replace the battery in your phone.
