Hosted Checkout
What is Hosted Checkout?
Hosted Checkout is a payment solution where the customer is redirected to a secure page managed by a payment service provider to complete their transaction. Once the payment is processed, the user is typically sent back to the merchant’s website.
Why It Matters
-
It simplifies PCI compliance for merchants because the payment provider handles the sensitive data.
-
These solutions are often easier and faster to implement than custom embedded checkouts.
-
Customers often feel secure paying on a well known provider’s branded page.
-
It reduces the technical burden on the merchant to maintain a secure payment infrastructure.
