Once they give their money, that's that, they don't want to hear it anymore.

Example two:

Today's lesson will only cover the introduction about the course. And That's it

Today's lesson will only cover the introduction about the course. And That's that

Are the above examples with That's that correct? I feel that That's it and That's that has a little difference in connotation and That's it has a larger arrays of meaning and can be used in more situations that the other, is that true?

I think you're right in that there's a little difference in nuance, but not a lot.

That's it to me means that's all. I do believe there is more flexibility.

You can have either grape or orange juice to drink, and that's all.
You're grounded and that's that.

I kind of like, "That'll do."
