contents As a generalization of the classical knots, knotoids are equivalence classes of immersions of the oriented unit interval in a surface. In recent years, a variety of invariants of spherical and planar knotoids have been constructed as extensions of invariants of classical and virtual knots. In this paper we introduce a three-variable transcendental invariant of planar knotoids which is defined over an index function of a Gauss diagram. We describe properties of this invariant and show that it is a Vassiliev invariant of order one. We also discuss the Gordian distance between planar knotoids and provide lower bounds on the Gordian distance of homotopic planar knotoids by using the transcendental invariant.
