What are the differences, advantages and disadvantages between "online payment" and "on-site payment" when booking hotels?

Paying at the store is often a bit expensive, but it can be cancelled at any time, which is very flexible. Online payment has the most favorable price, but it is often cancelled or even irrevocable within a limited time.

It's super convenient to book a hotel by credit card. The former is to give money first, and the latter is to settle the special account after receiving the account. If you really want to go, you should pay online first. If you are traveling, online payment is not recommended. I don't know if I will cancel my trip, so I choose to pay on time. There is no loss in canceling my reservation in time. Or the plane is late, and the itinerary and accommodation have changed.

Extended data:

The goods paid online reside in a third party, so when there is a dispute, the security of payment will not be affected, so it is beneficial for the third party to intervene. The advantages of cash on delivery are obviously applicable to buyers and friends without Alipay, and the disadvantages are even more obvious. Seeing is believing, cash on delivery. If something goes wrong, the payment has been sent to the courier company and transferred to the seller.

Moreover, the solution of the problem can't be intervened by a third party at all, so the loss can't be traced back. If the so-called return occurs again, there will be no refund or exchange if it is sent back. This is the tragedy of money and goods. At present, payment for goods is the most risky trading mode, which is much higher than online trading mode.
