Checkout Manager

The Checkout Manager is responsible for all aspects concerning checkout process and an one-stop API for getting through the checkout process.

But: The checkout manager is not an out-of-the-box checkout process! It is a tool and a set of components the developer can use to create a use case specific checkout process.

Starting with Pimcore 6.1 an optimized checkout manager architecture was introduced. This is parallel to the old architecture, which is deprecated now and will be removed in Pimcore 10. For details see Checkout Manager Details.
