Checkout Overview
The quickest way to build conversion-optimized payment forms, hosted on Stripe.
Start accepting payments with just a few lines of code. Checkout is a smart payment page that works seamlessly across devices and is designed to increase your conversion.
Checkout includes support for:
- Payment methods:
- credit and debit cards
- Apple Pay (with no additional setup required)
- Payment types: one-time and recurring payments
- Payment authentication: Dynamic 3D Secure3D Secure provides an additional layer of authentication for credit card transactions that protects merchants from liability for fraudulent card payments. During a transaction that incorporates the 3D Secure authorization process, the customer is prompted to supply a separate password or code to validate their purchase. (ready for Strong Customer AuthenticationStrong Customer Authentication (SCA) is a new regulatory requirement coming into effect on September 14, 2019 which will impact many European online payments. It requires customers to use two-factor authentication like 3D Secure to verify their purchase.)
- Localization: localized for 14 languages
- Email receipts: automatically send email receipts to your customers

- Cannot associate payments with existing CustomersStripe Customer objects allow you to perform recurring charges, and to track multiple charges, that are associated with the same customer.
- Cannot use separate authorization and capture for card payments

Server Integration

Supported languages
By default, Checkout detects the locale of the customer’s browser and displays a translated version of the page in their language, if it is supported. You can also provide a specific locale for Checkout to use instead via the client and server integrations. Checkout also uses the locale to format numbers and currencies. For example, when selling a product whose price is set in EUR with the locale set to auto, a browser configured to use English (en) would see €25.00 while one configured for German (de) would see 25,00 €.
