# Method name: createAndRedirectToCheckout(checkoutTemplateId: string, siteId: string)

# Method package: wixEcomBackend

# Method menu location: wixEcomBackend --> checkoutTemplates --> createAndRedirectToCheckout

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-ecom-backend/checkout-templates/create-and-redirect-to-checkout.md

# Method Description:

Creates a new checkout based on the checkout template and redirects to the new checkout page.

Before using this function, you must have a checkout template available. Create a checkout template with `createCheckoutTemplate()`.

To build a URL that uses this function, follow this format:
`https://www.wixapis.com/ecom/v1/checkout-templates/{checkoutTemplateId}/create-and-redirect-to-checkout?siteId={siteId}`

To create a checkout but not automatically redirect to the checkout page, use `createCheckoutFromTemplate()`.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

    return result;
  } catch (error) {
