You have access to Custom Checkout and Checkout to accept payments securely online. Most businesses use one or the other depending on their business needs; however, your company is never limited to choosing one solution over another. If you want to use both Custom Checkout and Checkout then you are able to do so.
Should I use Checkout or Custom Checkout?
Checkout
Checkout is a hosted payform, meaning that you can either redirect customers to it or provide a direct link to them. You should not be embedding our checkout page within an iframe on your own webpage.
Custom Checkout
Custom Checkout is a developed solution for capturing credit card data within an embedded iframe. An embedded iframe means you can place Custom Checkout on your own website or software. Since Bambora’s servers are receiving the card data, this keeps you PCI compliant and shifts liability on exposure and security. You should review our Developer Portal’s documentation for more information on implementing Custom Checkout.
