[GUIDE] How to set up checkout options and payment methods?

Modal Checkout

Modal checkout is our standard checkout method, which includes all the necessary features. However, it only supports a limited number of payment gateways. The payment gateways available with modal checkout include popular ones like Stripe, PayPal, 2Checkout, Authorize.net, PayUbiz, DPO, IPay88, Onepay, OnepayATM, PayUMoney, PayUlatam, Mercado Pago, and Billplz.

Notice: Please TURN OFF the WooCommerce checkout function, if you decide to USE the Modal Booking Method for the checkout page. Go to Theme Options > Booking Options > WooCommerce Options to turn it off

Note for Deposit Options: Traveler theme offers deposit options exclusively for modal checkout and does not currently support deposit functionality for WooCommerce checkout.

Because Modal checkout refers to the built-in checkout system provided by Traveler theme so customers have the option to pay a deposit amount for their bookings. On the other hand, if you choose to use WooCommerce checkout with Traveler theme, the deposit functionality is not available.
