An overview of the workflow to take Online Payments using PaymentExpress

Suggest Edits

Taking online payments in our most common methods (Hosted Checkout and Embedded Checkout) have the same general flow, as follows:

  • The customer will operate in the system of record in some capacity, selecting items to be paid for and finally electing to check out the selected items.
  • The system of record will make an API request to hand off the cart to PaymentExpress. PaymentExpress will return information about the cart that was created.
  • The system of record will use the chosen integration to display the checkout process to the user. The user will enter their payment information and complete their checkout.
  • Through one or more means of Payment Reconciliation, the system of record will be notified of the payment for the transaction by PaymentExpress, completing the process of the payment in the system of record.
