# How does Core Checkout work?

# What is Core Checkout?
Core Checkout lets you accept payments on your website or app through our API. When your customer clicks “Pay”, they are redirected to a payment page hosted by Core, then sent back to your website after confirmation. You choose which payment methods to display: bank card, Apple Pay and Carlo App.

* Integration requires a developer. Our technical documentation covers the full process.
* Core Checkout also lets you save a customer’s card and charge it later. See [What can you do with Core Checkout? ](https://corebycarlo.crisp.help/en/article/what-can-you-do-with-core-checkout-1wceq7n/)for the full picture.

# How does a payment work?
1. Your customer clicks "Pay" on your website
2. They are redirected to the Core-hosted payment page
3. They enter their card details and confirm the payment
4. They are automatically redirected back to your website
5. You receive a real-time confirmation in your dashboard

# Payouts
* Funds are paid out at D+3, counted in business days (no Saturday or Sunday)
* The bank transfer takes an additional 1 to 2 business days
* You receive the funds in your account between D+4 and D+5
* Card and Apple Pay fees (2% + €0.20 per transaction) are automatically deducted from the payout, with no separate invoice. Carlo App payments use your existing Carlo App rate.

|| 💡 **Good to know** — card and Apple Pay payments can be cancelled in full before the payout. Carlo App payments are refunded from the Carlo Business dashboard.
