Beta Release

If you're interested in integrating with the Drop-in Checkout, please speak to your account manager about joining the beta testing phase.

Integration Options - Basic or Advanced flow

With two integration options, you have the flexibility to choose a flow that suits your payment needs.

Basic flow: one API request

Your server makes a single Payments Session creation request to the /payment-sessions endpoint. The Drop-In Checkout also automatically handles additional next actions that might be required, such as authenticating with 3D Secure, and also localizes error messages

Advanced flow: two API requests

Your server makes two requisitions: a Checkout Session creation request to the /payment-sessions endpoint and an authorization request to the payment-sessions/{session-id}/authorizations endpoint.

Simplify your entire payment flow or add individual payment methods

The drop-in checkout can be rendered as the entire payment selector or as individual payment method forms.

By rendering the payment selector, you gain the full functionality of the Drop-in Checkout. It’s simpler to add multiple new payment methods and you’ll benefit from features, such as the smart ordering of payment methods.

Alternatively, you can add individual payment methods to your checkout. This would be the quickest way to add one or two key local payment methods. It also gives you the flexibility to A/B test new payment methods to see if they’re a fit for your customers.
