Benefits¶
Why use Paytone’s in-app Hosted Payment Page rather than building your own checkout form:
Flexibility and Adaptivity¶
- Easy to setup. It only takes 5 minutes to have a working flow.
- Integrate multiple payment methods like Card, PayPal, Direct debit via Gocardless, ACH via Stripe and Plaid. Paytone provides a way to control these payment methods without even changing a single line of code at your end.

- You can alter the look and feel of the page easily online in the Commerce Account settings in Dashboard.
- You can offer over 10 languages to your customers.
Smart & Secure payments¶
- If the customer’s first choice of payment method is not successful, it’s very easy for the customer to select and try another one. If a customer appears to not have sufficient credit on a checking account a retry by credit card could easily be attempted. We handle this for you without asking you to implement any extra APIs.
- Paytone optimizes the order of payment methods. For Dutch customers we know to list iDEAL at the top while for Belgians we start off with the payment method Bancontact. A lot of effort goes into this and we optimize this using A/B-testing. This way we improve your conversion without your effort.
- You can make use of Paytone’s smart routing rules to manage payment gateways. For different currencies, different gateways can be configured. You need not worry about changing your code, if you want to switch to a different gateway. Change your smart routing rule, it will get applied in your checkout pages
- PCI compliance for collecting card details.
Use cases¶
Checkout is especially made to help you use Paytone in workflows that are not typical e-commerce flows. It is a good fit when you are interacting with a customer and you need to enable a payment in a store or by phone, without having to host a website. You interact with the customer to define the order and either redirect them to the Hosted Payment Page or send them a link to pay by Email, SMS or even QR Code.
As this hosted solution provides only basic customization features, for other cases Paytone encourages you when possible to integrate Paytone Payments directly in your website to get a better user experience and conversion rate.
In-store¶
Checkout lets you provide Paytone as a payment method in your website store, your customer will be able to finance their purchase in a few questions with Paytone.
Telesales¶
Checkout lets you accept payments in a Telesales flow without the need of any website integration. Send your customer a Payment Link by e-mail or sms and let them pay the order. Payment Link could be generated like a QR code.
