What is Checkout.com?

Checkout.com is a payments technology platform that provides acquiring, payment processing, and fraud management as a set of modular APIs. It covers card payments, local payment methods, and currency conversion across more than 150 currencies, with settlement and reconciliation tools that reduce operational overhead for finance teams. For merchants building a Composable Headless Frontend, Checkout.com provides a payment layer that integrates at the API level rather than requiring an embedded, monolithic payment widget.

How it works

Checkout.com exposes payment flows through REST APIs with SDKs for web and native environments. Merchants configure payment method routing, retry logic, and risk rules through a dashboard or programmatically, giving engineering teams precise control over the payment experience without being locked into a specific frontend implementation. Teams working with the Checkout Growth Kit can optimise conversion at the payment step by testing local payment method availability and reducing friction in specific markets.

Checkout.com with Laioutr

Checkout.com is planned for the Laioutr App Store. Once available, it will integrate with Laioutr's Composable Headless Frontend layer, allowing payment flows to be composed and configured alongside other checkout experience components without requiring a separate payment-page infrastructure.
