      By utilizing the Checkout JS SDK, you may customize how the checkout process is shown to the end user. You can add new dimensions to the purchasing process using front-end technology and third-party online services.<\/span><\/p>\n

      However, you cannot modify the underlying structure of the checkout using the Checkout JS SDK. BigCommerce’s checkout and order creation process still rely on adhering to the SDK’s concept of the Checkout API.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You cannot integrate third-party suppliers of payment processing, shipping, or tax figuring into the shopping cart using the SDK. <\/span>BigCommerce design services can use the store’s configured providers for these features instead of our Checkout API.<\/p>\n

      If you are not tech-savvy enough, you can hire BigCommerce integration services to carry out the process.<\/p>\n
