Payment Components
Payment Components are prebuilt UI elements that provide input fields and buttons for securely collecting payment information from your customers. Payment Components support multiple payment methods in a single integration.
Use Payment Components when you build your own checkout experience but want to offload payment handling to Chargebee.
Key benefits
-
Simple integration: Integrate just once to support multiple payment methods across various payment gateways. This helps you expand globally and increase revenue, without additional development cost.
-
PCI compliant: Payment Components securely handle card data within an iframe hosted on Chargebee's domain, ensuring that your servers never process or store your customers' payment information. This reduces your PCI compliance requirements significantly.
-
Advanced routing support: Route payments through specific gateways based on rules defined in Chargebee Billing. If you have multiple payment gateways configured, Advanced Routing lets you optimize payment flow for better reliability, cost-efficiency, and regional coverage.
-
Customizable UI and branding: Easily tailor the user interface, layout, and styling to match your website's design, creating a seamless and branded payment experience that reduces friction and increases conversion.
-
Responsive: Payment Components are responsive across devices and screen sizes.
-
Payment submission button: Includes an optional pre-built button that securely processes payments. You can place it anywhere in the UI layout and it dynamically adapts to the selected payment method.
-
Additional form fields: Add extra form fields to collect more information during payment collection.
-
Multi-language support: Support translations in multiple languages using the
localeoption. You can customize the translated text using the Chargebee Billing Language Pack. -
Lifecycle callbacks: Payment Components expose callbacks for ready, method change, button click, success, and error so you can hook validation, analytics, and tax updates into the payment flow. See the API reference.
Summary
Chargebee Payment Components give you a uniquely developer-friendly, conversion-optimized way to collect payments, going well beyond the single-gateway, single-method widgets offered by most billing and subscription platforms. With a single integration, you unlock multiple payment methods across multiple payment gateways, so you can expand into new regions and add payment methods without additional engineering effort. Because card data is captured inside an iframe hosted on Chargebee's domain, sensitive information never touches your servers, significantly reducing your PCI-DSS compliance scope while preserving a fully branded, embedded checkout experience. Built-in advanced routing directs each transaction to the optimal gateway based on rules you configure in Chargebee Billing, improving authorization rates, cost-efficiency, and regional coverage. Deep UI customization, responsive layouts, an adaptive prebuilt payment button, additional form fields, multi-language support, and a rich set of lifecycle callbacks for validation, analytics, and tax updates give you precise control over the payment flow. Together, these capabilities make Payment Components an enterprise-grade, differentiated solution that combines security, flexibility, and global payment reach in a single, seamless integration you can rely on.
