If you order them online, a lot of airlines will give you an eticket by default…then just make sure to show your ID, etc, and yuo’re all set.

Your name will already be on the fligth list if you have an electronic ticket as well…and yes, you’ll still need to check in, arrive at least 2 hours early, three for international travel keep in mind your baggage weight (try to check them before you leave the house, so you don’t pay extra) and read up on current regulations for what you can take in carry on (eg, bottle size, etc). Good luck & happy travels.
