How does Core Checkout work?
What is Core Checkout?
Core Checkout is a card payment solution integrated on your website via 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.
Integration requires a developer. Our technical documentation covers the full process.
