Our Unified Payments API is a future-proof payments solution that provides access to multiple payment methods through a single streamlined integration.
Today, consumers have more choices than ever. Not just in terms of what they buy, but also where they buy it – and, how they pay for it. As the ecommerce market proliferates at supersonic speeds, businesses increasingly need a simple way to expand their payment offerings to support new customers from all over the world. When choosing an online payments solution, merchants must consider not just the payment methods they accept today, but also those they will need to accept in the future.
Checkout.com's unified solution sets a new standard in payment technology. We offer the most streamlined integration experience, revolutionizing online payments to support businesses of any kind, any size, and from anywhere.
So what’s new?
There are many complexities when it comes to integrating multiple payment methods. By adopting the latest in API standards, we’ve removed these complexities and streamlined the integration process so that accepting more payment methods won’t cost you more time. We offer a first-class development experience enabling developers to complete a full integration in as little as a few hours.
Our Unified Payments API has been designed to support any payment method and any flow – whether you already accept card payments today and need to enable 3DS 2.0, or want to start accepting digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Checkout.com’s new integration gives you the flexibility to add additional payment methods whenever your business is ready.
Since its release, we’ve introduced new payment methods including SEPA Direct Debits, Giropay, Klarna as well as support for 3DS 2.0 in record time.
