You can manage checkout attributes by going to Catalog > Checkout Attributes.
Usage Scenario
Imagine you're selling products that are likely to be presents (like jewelry or flowers). Then you might want to create an option for your customers to wrap the products they're currently buying into gift paper. Since the most of your products are suitable presents you should create a global option to accomplish this. Checkout Attributes are ideal for this purpose since they will be displayed in the first order summary in the checkout process and your customers can opt for them there.
Creating a Checkout Attribute
When creating a checkout attribute first you create and configure the desired attribute and the you assign values that your customers can chose from during the checkout process.
