Enabling Hosted Checkout in your payment operations is a four-step process.
1. Redirect Customer
You must redirect the Customer from your website to Hosted Checkout, you can do this immediately from the pay option in your cart or generate a URL which can be accessed by the Customer at a later time.
Your Hosted Checkout Transaction should include the same data as it is required by Dynamic Forms, this includes parameters such as amount, currency and chargesURL. Additionally it can also figure customization parameters exclusive to the Hosted Checkout feature, namely merchant_name and logo. Last but not least, it is relevant to input the order information. This refers to the selected products, shipping costs, and VAT, for example.
2. Create Charge
When creating a Charge, Merchants are expected to supply their own URL to the Hosted Checkout. This URL is called when the Customer submits the Payment details and should return the respective charge_id.
3. Implement Webhook Endpoint
It is essential to implement an endpoint which will receive the Webhooks generated from the Hosted Checkout procedures. This process is similar to what we implement for Dynamic Forms or REST Integration.
4. Redirect Customer Back
You should include a redirecting URL that guides the users back to your website once the Payment procedures have been completed.
