Hosted Checkout
Chargebee's hosted checkout collects your customer's account and billing details and helps complete the order by processing the payment.
With Chargebee's hosted checkout, the customers are redirected to a secure payment page hosted by Chargebee to complete payment for the product or service. These pages adhere to security and compliance standards such as PCI and GDPR. The checkout page is customizable, allowing you to brand the page with your logos and colors. Chargebee's hosted checkout supports various payment options, including bank-based payments, direct debit, and wallets.
Chargebee's hosted checkout also integrates with other tools and features offered by the platform, such as customer management, invoicing, and tax calculation. The integration allows you to easily manage subscriptions and payments and track customer data and analytics. Hosted checkout is your one-stop destination with custom fields, default language translation, , analytics, and more.
Checkout Process
Here is what happens in Chargebee when a customer clicks the Checkout/Subscribe button.
UI Layout Options
Chargebee currently offers the following layouts that you can choose from based on your look and feel preferences:
- In-app layout
- Full-page layout (available only with Product Catalog v2.0)
In-App Layout
In-app is a simple, elegant, and intuitive modal-based checkout. On clicking the Subscribe/Checkout button, the Checkout modal opens, where your customers can enter their account and payment details. You can configure your brand elements, fields, display charges, taxes, a thank you message, and multiple workflows to suit your business needs. The in-app layout is optimized for mobile devices and elegantly handles the customer journey for your checkout funnel.
Here is a sample of the In-app Checkout.
Warning
The in-app layout displays as a modal popup. Chargebee.js loads the checkout UI in an iframe that Chargebee manages. Do not wrap the in-app checkout in your own iframe element.
Full-Page Layout
Upgrade required The full-page layout for Checkout is available only on Chargebee Billing with the latest Product Catalog version.
