Clicking on the booking button will lead you to the PayPal home page. After making the required payment you can return to the merchant and if you want, you can even make the booking further.
Partial Payment: If you desire to go with partial payment then you can simply choose the option “Partial Payment” and click on the booking button.

Workflow of Stripe Checkout:

When a user clicks the Book and Pay button, your app sets up the payment and begins the checkout in a popup window.

Stripe takes those details, encrypts the data and pushes them on the Stripe server, makes sure the data doesn’t hit the server, does the basic validation (such as invalid expiry date or invalid credit card number etc), creates a token representing the credit card info and posts the token to your server.
The User can review and authorizes the payment.
PayPal returns control to your site to finalize the payment. The site then shows the payment details as given in the screenshot.
