Checkout Manager has been designed to provide the features and functionality that merchants have requested. Merchants can now have greater control over the pages in their checkout flow and apply a visual treatment to checkout pages that matches the rest of their site. There are also advanced features for incorporating additional custom fields, HTML, and Java Script.
