Using a URL versus embedding a checkout
- Using a URL requires that you to link to a button or text within your website (eg Book Now).
- Guests can select the link and launch the ROLLER online checkout. The URL of this checkout will be a ROLLER URL, not your website's URL, unless you have set up a custom domain.
- Embedding a checkout allows you to keep guests on your website while they complete their transactions.
Mobile-friendly checkouts
- All checkouts are fully responsive and the display will change depending on the size of the browser window the guest is using.
- This ensures an optimal user experience during the checkout flow regardless of what device is being used to make the purchase.
- If you want your checkout to display in a desktop-friendly view, make sure that the width is at least 1024px. Otherwise, it will automatically display in a mobile-friendly view.
