Picture it: Your business is booming – you’re entering new markets, opening new offices, introducing new products, and revenue is on the rise. Smooth sailing from here, right? Well, not exactly. Whatever your business, you need to maintain momentum to stay on top. For your customers, this could mean launching new products and features. But as a large-scale business, it also means looking inward; identifying operational inefficiencies and cost-saving opportunities which include, yes, optimizing your payment strategy.

To get you started, we’re answering some frequently asked questions on how to integrate with Checkout.com.
A STEP-BY-STEP INTEGRATION GUIDE
I’m considering Checkout.com as my payment service provider. Where should I start?
Once you’ve discussed your payment goals with your Checkout.com sales representative and solutions consultant, it’s time to assess the technical stuff.
1. Pick your integration method. Explore our technical integration documents at docs.checkout.com where you’ll find several integration methods and other helpful APIs. We also support all major e-commerce solutions; see our full list of supported shopping carts and installation instructions. Mobile SDKs are available for Android and iOS.
Select your payment methods. Think about your alternative payments. All alternative payment methods are handled through one API, which makes it much easier for you to add new payment methods when you're ready.
Select other helpful APIs and capabilities. Other features you should consider using are our reporting APIs, webhooks for event notifications, and Fraud Detection Pro for fraud filtering. Additionally, consider adding 3DS and $0 auth flows.
2. Start testing. Sign up for access to our sandbox testing environment by going to Checkout.com and clicking "Get Test Account." We will then email you test keys for Sandbox Hub access so you can begin testing.
I’m about to start testing. Is there a certification queue or scripts I need to complete?
No, there is no certification queue or lengthy scripts to complete. Once you provide examples of the functionality you’d like to enable, contact our Integration team at [email protected] and you’ll be able to go live. You can find all our test card information here.
