Usage Notes:

• The translation depends heavily on context. Use "оформление заказа" for online shopping or formal order processing, "касса" for in-store checkout counters, and "выезд" exclusively for leaving accommodations like hotels.
• "Касса" can also mean "cash register" or "ticket office" in other contexts, so be mindful of ambiguity.
• Russian does not have a single direct equivalent for "checkout" as it splits into specific terms based on the situation.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using "выезд" for online shopping checkout. Wrong: "Выезд из магазина онлайн." Correct: "Оформление заказа онлайн." Explanation: "Выезд" refers to physical departure, not a transaction.
• Error: Misusing "касса" for hotel checkout. Wrong: "Касса из отеля." Correct: "Выезд из отеля." Explanation: "Касса" is tied to retail or payment counters, not accommodations.

Cultural Notes:

In Russian-speaking countries, the concept of "checkout" in hotels ("выезд") often comes with strict timing, and guests are expected to adhere to checkout times (usually around noon). Late checkout may incur fees, and this is culturally enforced more strictly than in some Western countries.
