When you have tested your custom checkout pages and wish to use Checkout Manager, you can use these instructions to enable Checkout Manager. If you wish to revert to your former checkout flow, you can disable Checkout Manager if you wish.

To enable Checkout Manager:

1. From the Store Manager, click the "Checkout Manager" link.
2. Click the "Enable Checkout Manager" link in the gray box (see figure 1).
3. Click the "Enable" button.
4. Click "Proceed" after reading the warning.
5. Click "OK" to return to the Store Manager.
6. Publish your order settings.
7. If you use the Store Editor to build your store, you must publish the Store Editor as well. Republishing will change the URL of your item order buttons from order.store.yahoo.com to order.store.yahoo.net.

Note: Before you enable Checkout Manager, you will see a gray box on the Checkout Manager hub with links to testing and enabling Checkout Manager (see figure 1).
