Handling Payments
Nautical acts as a payment orchestration system that facilitates secure and efficient payment processing for marketplaces using integrated gateways such as Stripe.
To manage payments, Nautical utilizes the payment object, which tracks information like the amount, payment gateway, charge status, and more. You can create payments through the checkoutPaymentCreate mutation for checkouts on your storefront or use nauticalOrderPaymentCreate to finalize draft and quote orders.
