Hosted Payments
This guide helps you create and customize hosted checkout payment page or link that suits your business's needs, offering a seamless payment experience to customers while giving you control over the design and data collection.
What is Hosted Payments?
Hosted Payments is a service offered by PayEngine that allows merchants or partners to create payment options for their customers. It provides two main types of payment methods:
Payment Links: A specific link is generated for a payment with a set amount. This is typically used for a one-time transaction or a specific invoice.
Hosted Checkout Page: A customizable payment page that does not require a predefined amount. Customers can use this page to enter an amount, fill out required fields, and complete their payment. The hosted checkout page provides flexibility for more general payments or donations.
