# Handle Payments with a Custom Checkout

This article describes how to implement a custom checkout flow instead of using Wix eCommerce. 

After creating a booking (step 7 in the [single-service booking flow](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/bookings/end-to-end-booking-flows.md)), the standard flow uses Wix eCommerce for checkout (steps 8-11). With a custom checkout, you handle payment collection and booking confirmation yourself:

1. Implement your custom checkout and display the checkout page to the customer.
2. Once the customer completes payment, call [Confirm Or Decline Booking](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/bookings/bookings/bookings-writer-v2/confirm-or-decline-booking.md) with `options.paymentStatus` set to `PAID`. This updates the booking status to `CONFIRMED`.
3. Call [Create Order](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/orders/orders/create-order.md) to record the transaction, specifying the custom payment details.
