# Method name: createCheckoutTemplate(checkoutTemplate: CheckoutTemplate)

# Method package: wixEcomBackend

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

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

# Method Description:

Creates a checkout template.

A checkout template is used to create a new checkout that will include predefined information. For example, a single link with
a `checkoutTemplateId` can be shared with customers and each time the link is clicked, a new checkout page will be created
for that customer with certain checkout information already populated.

The customizable features include the option to allow or to lock coupon codes or gift cards. For example, if a store owner is
using the checkout template to offer a flash sale to their social media followers, they may want to lock the option to apply an
additional coupon on top of the sale being offered. If so, they can set `customization.lockedCoupon` to `true`.

A checkout can be created with a checkout template by calling `createCheckoutFromTemplate()`. The site may add further customizations to the new checkout and then redirect the customer using the new checkout's `checkoutUrl`.
