Checkout Service

Suggest Edits

The Checkout Service provides a pre-built, hosted checkout page that simplifies the payment process for businesses. The Checkout Service is much easier to integrate, requiring minimal code and effort from the merchant’s side. It’s designed for businesses that want to avoid the complexity of building and managing a custom payment flow.

Hosted Payment Flow

With the Checkout Service, users are redirected to a secure, hosted checkout page maintained by PortOne, where they can complete the transaction. After payment, they are redirected back to the merchant's site or app.

Ideal for Quick Setup

This service is best suited for businesses or applications that need a payment solution up and running quickly without the need for deep customization or development resources.

Customization Options

Unlike the Payment Service, which allows for fully customized, branded checkouts, the Checkout Service is designed to be fast and easy to integrate.

While the Checkout Service is more limited in terms of customization compared to the Payment Service, merchants can still adjust certain elements such as branding (logo, colors) to ensure a consistent look.

Use Case

Ideal for small to medium businesses or apps that prioritize speed of integration over full control of the user experience.

Integration flow

The sequence diagram below illustrates the flow for integrating the Checkout service via the Web SDK

Once the user initiates checkout via the Merchant's cart page:

  • The Merchant (front end) requests a JWT from the Merchant (Back end)
  • The Merchant (front end) passes the JWT to initialize the PortOne SDK and then calls PortOne Web JS to create the checkout with payment details.
  • PortOne Server saves the request details, generates the checkout link, and returns it to the Merchant (front end).
  • Merchants can use this checkout link to redirect the user

💡

Passing the signature hash can be skipped if you whitelist your domain/IP/App

Sample code

Use the following JS code snippet to initiate the payment in the checkout service using the respective supported payment channels (e.g. MomoPay, ZaloPay, Mastercard, etc).

const portone = new window.PortOne({
    // Your PortOne Key

Embedding the checkout using iFrame

Embedding a checkout experience within an iFrame provides seamless, uninterrupted payment flows by allowing the checkout interface to load directly on your page. Instead of redirecting customers, the embedded checkout offers an improved user experience by keeping users on your website. Below are the key steps and necessary configuration details to implement the embedded checkout correctly.

Step 1: Configure Checkout Payload Settings

To ensure the checkout service behaves appropriately for embedding, you must set the following flags in your checkout payload:

is_checkout_embed: true
override_auto_redirect: false

Step 2: Adding the iFrame to Your Page

The following HTML code snippet must be added to your webpage to load the embedded checkout UI. This structure ensures that the checkout interface displays properly with appropriate styling, z-index management, and backdrop handling.

<div
  class="portone-container"
  id="portone-container"
  style="z-index: 1000000000;position: fixed;top: 0px;display: none;left: 0px;height: 100%;width: 100%;backface-visibility: hidden;overflow-y: visible;"
>
  <div
    class="portone-backdrop"
    style="min-height: 100%; transition: all 0.3s ease-out 0s; position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);"
  ></div>
  <iframe
    style="opacity: 1; height: 100%; position: relative; background: none; display: block; border: 0px none transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; z-index: 2; width: 100%;"
    allowtransparency="true"
    frameborder="0"
    width="100%"
    height="100%"
    allowpaymentrequest="true"
    src=""
    id="portone-checkout-frame"
    class="portone-checkout-frame"
  ></iframe>
</div>;

Step 3: Using the Checkout Service

Once the above code is added to the page, you can implement the checkout service.

Key Considerations

  • Cross-Origin Restrictions
    Ensure your iFrame source (src URL) is from a trusted domain to avoid CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues.
  • Browser Compatibility
    While most modern browsers support iFrame embedding, certain restrictions on cookies or third-party scripts may affect the checkout experience. Ensure that allowpaymentrequest is enabled for secure payments.
