How does it work?
💳 In-page implementation
Our Checkout.com CC integration allows you to load the credit card fields inside the checkout page for a frictionless experience.
The Credit Card fields are loaded directly from Checkout.com’s servers ensuring a secure connection between Checkout.com and the Customer. ( Checkout X doesn’t handle any card details )
🔒 3DS Secure
The Checkout.com CC integration leverages Checkout.com’s 3DS Engine by default, which means that all payments are compliant with European Directives.
The 3DS Secure screen is shown only when requested by the bank of the customer and it doesn’t bring any extra payment fees.
