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.
