Nautical Checkout

Nautical provides a secure checkout process integrated with the storefront. The checkout allows customers to add products to their cart and place orders directly from your storefront.

Nautical's hosted checkout offers buyers a streamlined, one-page form to finalize their order. From the checkout page, customers can:

• Choose a shipping method
• Add a payment method
• Apply a discount code
• Add a customer order note
• Enter shipping and billing addresses

You can customize settings for your checkout, including whether customers need to register for an account and the overall theme for your checkout experience.

Nautical checks inventory levels while items are in a customer's cart to ensure there's enough stock to fulfill the order. However, inventory isn't allocated at this stage. If a product becomes unavailable after being added to the cart, Nautical displays an error message and prevents checkout. Once an order is placed, the inventory is allocated.

Require login for checkout

By default, guests are allowed to check out without registering for an account. However, you can require customers to register for an account and log in before placing orders.

To enable the Require login for checkout setting, contact Nautical Support. This setting needs to be activated by a Nautical representative.

Set up payment options

Customers must enter a valid payment method to complete the checkout process. The payment options available at checkout depend on the payment plugins enabled in your marketplace app store.

You can accept one or more of the following payment options:

• Stripe. When the Stripe app is active, it appears as a Credit Card option at checkout. All payment methods supported by Stripe are available.

• Braintree. When the Braintree app is active, it presents as a Credit Card option in the checkout.

• Wire. When the Wire plugin is active, it appears as a Wire Transfer option, allowing customers to check out without a credit card.

Adding a payment option

1. On your dashboard, navigate to Settings -> Apps.
2. From the list of apps present, select one of the payment apps available (Braintree, Stripe, or Wire).
3. Configure the plugin's settings and set it to Active.
4. Save your settings, the payment option will become available in your checkout.

Customize your checkout theme

Your checkout theme is in sync with your storefront. Thus whenever you update your storefront's colors, logo, or font - these values automatically update in your checkout as well.

Checkout confirmation URL

The confirmation URL is the page where customers are redirected after successfully making a payment for an order at checkout.

Change the confirmation URL

1. Go to Storefront -> Checkout settings.
2. Set the Confirmation URL field to base URL where customers should be redirected.
   • If using the no-code storefront editor, set this URL to https://{your_site}/thank-you
   • If developing a custom storefront, set this URL to the base thank-you page. A unique checkout token will be appended after a successful checkout to show order-specific details. For example:https://{your_site}/thank-you?token=04925353-0def-41bd-b836-da14f71fe67a
3. Select Save.
