Modal Checkout and WooCommerce Checkout. What’s the Difference

1. Modal checkout is the default Traveler checkout method which has all functions. The disadvantage is not enough payment gateway. Modal Checkout contains the popular payment gateway only: Stripe, PayPal, 2Checkout, Authorize.net, PayUbiz, DPO, IPay88, Onepay, OnepayATM, PayUMoney, PayUlatam, Mercado Pago, Billplz.

In general, Modal checkout has more functions but less payment gateway than WooCommerce checkout.

Note:

  • The membership package checkout use Modal Checkout only
  • Allow only checkout for ONE item at a time – not multi-items per checkout.
  • Does not have a cart page. The checkout process goes directly from the single service page to the checkout page.

2. WooCommerce checkout is the alternative checkout, which has fewer functions but can integrate a payment gateway from the WooCommerce system and allow multi-items per checkout. Regarding some unique payment gateway, the admin will use only WooCommerce Checkout only. In general, WooCommerce checkout contains the basic checkout function – not the advanced function. For example:

  • WooCommerce Checkout uses the WooCommerce email template (not the Traveler email template). Therefore, it does not deliver partner-related emails or any Traveler email template
  • Check Reservation via WooCommerce > Orders not via service booking  (such as Tour >Tour Booking)
  • Cannot use in Membership Package Checkout
  • Cannot cancel WooCommerce order when multi-item in cart
  • Traveler tax and booking fees are not supported
  • Traveler deposit function is not supported
  • Traveler Export Booking PDF is not supported
  • Cannot set a specific payment gateway for the specific item
  • Traveler coupon code function is not supported. 
  • Guest Name field is not being recorded
  • The extra price options does not show up on the WooCommerce checkout page but still be calculated on the total amount checkout….
