what happens with causativisation transitive/intransitive
transitive verb is causativised, the subject of the transitive verb gets the dative case, object remains in the acc case
When an intransitive verb is causativized, the subject of the intransitive verb gets the
accusative case
Objects that carry dative or ablative case retain their case markers (dative and ablative
respectively), and the subject of the non-causative verb bears the accusative case when it occurs with the causative verb.

what ıs the suffıx order
When more than one voice suffix is attached to a verb stem, the causative suffix precedes
the passive suffix (it is closer to the verb stem). When it is attached together with the
reciprocal or the reflexive suffix, it follows them.
Verb + reflexive/reciprocal + causative + passive
