Reuse feature file - Ruby version

Question

I'm facing issues with reusing feature file. I have added checkout feature file to place an order. My purpose is to reuse this feature file in other scenarios as well?

Feature: Checkout

  @checkout
  Scenario Outline: checkout
    Given I navigate to application home page
    When I search for keyword "<Search>"
    When I click on searched result "<Search>"
    Then I verify the checkout page "<Search>"
    When I click on Get Tickets button
    When I enter the fields values of buyer and Ticket information
    And I enter the payment details and click on Pay Now button
    Then I verify the payment will be successful

    Examples:
      |Search|
      |Test Event|

For eg: I have created another scenario "checkout with applied discount code" and it's reusing few steps from "checkout" feature file(bold text)

Feature: Checkout with applied discount code

  @discount
===============================================
    **Given I navigate to application home page
    When I search for keyword "<Search>"
    When I click on searched result "<Search>"
    Then I verify the checkout page "<Search>"
    When I click on Get Tickets button
    When I enter the fields values of buyer and Ticket information**
=================================================
    When I apply "CODE10" discount code
    And I enter the payment details and click on Pay Now button
    Then the discount will be applied on order total

    Examples:
      |Search|
      |Test Event|

I have added reusable steps in common file so that I don't have to create separate step file for both feature files.

Now framework is expanding and I need to reuse "Checkout feature" file in other scenarios as well.

Options I have in mind:

Use checkout feature as a background step in new feature file: Problem Background step will have 8-10 lines.
Refractor feature file to exclude implementation details like click, search , enter values and create methods in page file and reuse those methods in new feature file.

Need guidance on how to approach reusability so that I don't have to refractor code multiple times?

Any other ways to reuse feature file?
