# Configure Checkout Settings (/how-to/checkout/configure-checkout-settings)



General checkout settings control the text customers see, how the booking flow behaves, and where customers go after completing a purchase. These are the foundational settings you should configure before customizing the theme or adding custom code.

Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

* You need access to the Resytech Dashboard with permission to edit checkout settings.
* Have your post-booking redirect URL ready if you want to send customers to a specific page on your website.

Steps [#steps]

1. In the sidebar, click **Checkout Settings**. The checkout settings page opens with a sidebar of tabs.
2. Select the **General** tab (this is the default).
3. Configure the fields in each section, then click **Save Changes** at the top of the page.

| Field               | Default                                                                      | Description                                                                                                                                                                    |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Page Title**      | `Book Your Adventure`                                                        | Shown in the browser tab and at the top of the checkout page. Keep it short and action-oriented.                                                                               |
| **Return URL**      | *(empty)*                                                                    | The full URL customers are redirected to after completing a booking (e.g., `https://yoursite.com/thank-you`). If left empty, customers stay on the Resytech confirmation page. |
| **Success Message** | `Thank you for your booking! You will receive a confirmation email shortly.` | Displayed on the confirmation screen after a successful purchase. Supports plain text.                                                                                         |

Behavior settings [#behavior-settings]

| Setting                             | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                     |
| ----------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Show Activity Selector**          | On      | When enabled, customers see a page listing all published activities and choose one. Disable this if you link directly to a specific activity from your website. |
| **Auto-redirect to First Activity** | Off     | Skip the activity selector entirely and send customers straight to your first published activity. Only available when **Show Activity Selector** is turned off. |
| **Auto-select Single Equipment**    | On      | When an activity has only one equipment option, it is selected automatically so the customer skips that step.                                                   |
| **Allow Guest Checkout**            | On      | Let customers complete bookings without creating an account. Turning this off requires customers to log in or register.                                         |

Title text settings [#title-text-settings]

These labels appear as section headings during the booking flow. Customize them to match your terminology.

| Field                    | Default                | Description                                                                                    |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Duration Title Text**  | `Select Duration`      | Heading above the duration picker. For hourly rentals you might use `Choose Your Rental Time`. |
| **Date Title Text**      | `Select Date`          | Heading above the date calendar.                                                               |
| **Time Slot Title Text** | `Select Time`          | Heading above the available time slots.                                                        |
| **Popup Window Title**   | `Book Your Experience` | Title shown in the booking popup when the checkout is embedded as a widget.                    |

Tips [#tips]

* **Auto-redirect is great for single-activity businesses.** If you only offer one activity (e.g., jet ski rentals), turn off the activity selector and enable auto-redirect so customers land directly on the booking calendar.
* **Auto-redirect and Show Activity Selector are linked.** The auto-redirect checkbox is disabled when the activity selector is turned on, because there is no reason to skip a page that is already hidden.
* **Return URL is optional but recommended.** Sending customers back to your website after booking gives you control over the post-purchase experience, lets you display upsells, or simply keeps visitors on your domain.
* **Unsaved changes are protected.** If you switch tabs with unsaved edits, the dashboard prompts you to confirm before discarding changes.
