Set up Universal Checkout
What is Universal Checkout?
Now you have a processor connected and a workflow to route your payment to your processor, you can start to create payments. To do this, you need to set up Universal Checkout.
Universal Checkout unifies all payment methods and processors behind a single integration, across both web and mobile, and handles the creation of a payment in a PCI-compliant way.
How to set up Universal Checkout
There are two steps required:
Integrate Universal Checkout
Integrate Universal Checkout into your application using Primer’s SDKs. There are different integration options so make sure to choose the best for your use case.
Configure your checkout
Determine which payment methods and features should be displayed under which conditions - this is all done without any code via the Checkout section in the dashboard.
Once you have configured your checkout and your integration is complete, customers can pay with your checkout and a payment will be created with Primer. Using your workflow, Primer will route the payment to your connected processor to be authorized.
It’s also possible to create merchant-initiated payments using vaulted payment methods via the Payments API - learn more here. These payments don’t go through the checkout.
