Introduction to

Unified Checkout

Unified Checkout

provides a single interface with which you can accept numerous types of digital payments.

Unified Checkout

consists of a server-side component and a client-side JavaScript library.

The server-side component authenticates your merchant identity and instructs the system to act within your payment environment. The response contains limited-use public keys. The keys are for end-to-end encryption and contain merchant-specific payment information that drives the interaction of the application. The client-side JavaScript library dynamically and securely places digital payment options onto your e-commerce page.

The provided JavaScript library enables you to securely accept many payment options within your e‑commerce environment.

Unified Checkout

can be embedded seamlessly into your existing webpage, simplifying payment acceptance.

When a customer chooses a payment method from the button widget,

Unified Checkout

handles all of the interactions with the digital payment that was chosen. It also provides a response to your e-commerce system.
