Checkout overview

Checkout by Peach Payments is a ready-to-use payment experience provided by Peach Payments.

With Checkout, merchants have the ability to accept a full range of payment methods with a single developer integration.

Peach Payments offers Checkout through two implementations:

  • Embedded Checkout: Embed checkout on your website and accept payments without redirecting to Peach Payments Checkout.
  • Hosted Checkout: Redirects customers to Peach Payments Checkout to accept payments.

You cannot embed Hosted Checkout in an iframe. To do this, use Embedded Checkout.

User experience

Checkout streamlines the payment experience by allowing customers to confidently complete their online purchases.

Embedded Checkout

  1. Display a payment button on your Checkout page when a customer is ready to complete payment for their purchase.
  2. Generate and render a Checkout that includes the purchase details on your website.
  3. The rendered Checkout shows the customer the purchase amount and all the payment methods available to them to complete the purchase.
  4. The customer selects their desired payment method to complete the purchase.
  5. On your website, inform the customer of the Checkout result.
  6. If you've enabled a valid webhook, you receive a response with the details of the completed, cancelled, or expired transaction.

Hosted Checkout

  1. Display a payment button on your Checkout page when a customer is ready to complete payment for their purchase.
  2. Send a signed POST request with entity credentials along with the purchase details. Redirect the customer to the Checkout payment page hosted by Peach Payments, either using a redirect or a form POST.
  3. The Checkout page shows the customer the purchase amount and all the payment methods available to them to complete the purchase.
  4. The customer selects their desired payment method to complete the purchase.
  5. If successful, Checkout redirects the customer back to your website with a confirmation of their transaction. If cancelled, Checkout redirects the customer back to the provided cancel URL.
