A payment service provider connects payment acceptance with the technical and commercial processes behind it. A wallet or flexible payment option can complement that setup. Start by identifying the role you need to fill and what your existing provider already covers.

Checkout is both a customer experience and a systems workflow. Payment status, orders, refunds and payouts need to work together. Hosted checkout, store plugins and custom integrations place different demands on your team.

Payment platforms

Connect payment acceptance and processing to orders. Review billing, refunds, payouts and responsibility for ongoing operations.

Wallets & payment options

Additional ways to pay can complement checkout. Availability depends on factors including the merchant account, customer country and integration.

Checkout integration

Compare hosted payment pages, plugins and modular interfaces against your store platform, design requirements and available development time.

Questions about Payment & Checkout

A few answers before you start a conversation.

Do I need a PSP or just another payment method?

If you need the underlying processing setup, assess payment platforms. If you only want an additional wallet or payment option, an extension may be enough. Check whether your existing PSP already supports it.

Which checkout integration fits my store?

Hosted checkout reduces the interface you build yourself. Plugins connect existing store platforms, while components and APIs offer more customisation. Assess effort, maintenance and available features for the specific solution.

Are all providers available in my market?

A global brand or an English profile does not establish merchant eligibility. Country, business model, currency and payment method may have different requirements. Confirm availability with the provider.
