### Differences of both Checkout type:

# Native Checkout (Shopify) 
* ✅ Best for checkouts/payment that happened inside Shopify
* We track when order event is paid event. These are order that has been tag as **“Paid”** under **Payment status**
* Always verify that your checkout type matches your store’s **payment flow** to keep your **sales data accurate**.

# External Checkout (3rd-Party) 
* ✅ Best for COD and third-party payment systems. 
* We track when order event is created. This includes the order with tagging such as **“Payment pending” / “Authorize”** 
* If you want to know whether we support your third-party checkout. Just make sure your external checkout system send's cart token back to Shopify with `note_attributes` field. The key of the attribute needs to be `shopify-cart-token`.
