BeSure Checkout Rules and Canteen - Deposits and Fees both operate in the Shopify checkout customization space, but target entirely different merchant needs. BeSure Checkout Rules aims to optimize the standard checkout flow by offering extensive control over shipping and payment options, increasing conversion rates by tailoring the checkout experience. Canteen, conversely, focuses on automating the often complex task of managing deposits and fees, particularly those related to containers, environmental charges, and service fees. BeSure is geared toward merchants who want to refine the checkout process, reduce cart abandonment, and offer a seamless buying experience by controlling what the customer sees and interacts with during checkout. Canteen targets merchants who are legally or operationally required to collect specific deposits or fees (e.g., bottle deposits), or who need to add various surcharges to orders. The key difference is that BeSure focuses on streamlining the existing checkout, while Canteen adds additional charges and manages their complexity. BeSure offers more comprehensive checkout optimization tools and features whereas Canteen focuses primarily on deposits and fees.

For merchants seeking to optimize their existing checkout process by controlling shipping and payment options, minimizing friction, and potentially increasing conversion rates, BeSure Checkout Rules is the superior choice. Its robust features allow fine-grained control over the checkout experience.
However, if the primary need is to automate the collection of deposits and fees (bottle deposits, service charges, etc.) due to legal requirements or specific business practices, Canteen - Deposits and Fees is the clear winner. Its focus on fee customization, tax controls, and POS support makes it ideal for businesses that require accurate and efficient fee management. A merchant who needs BOTH functionalities may even consider using both apps in tandem if the budget allows.
Yes, both apps offer payment hiding functionality, but for different reasons. BeSure Checkout Rules hides payment options based on cart rules for optimization, while Canteen can hide payment options related to fee visibility.
BeSure Checkout Rules may be slightly better for international stores due to its ability to customize shipping based on address, potentially addressing specific regional shipping constraints. However, Canteen's functionality is location agnostic as fees are configurable
