Hosted Checkout Scenarios

Hosted Checkout supports a wide range of use cases — from simple one-time payments to more advanced recurring payment models using card tokenisation or Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs). Use the matrix below to identify the correct setup for your scenario, then follow the relevant page for detailed integration guidance.

Setup scenarios

Scenario	Description	Common Use Cases
One-off payment	Take a single payment from your customer. Card details can optionally be saved for one-click checkout or future recurring use, but this is not required.	eCommerce checkout, bill payment
Store credentials only	Save a customer's payment credentials without charging them, for use in future recurring payments.	Lending
Charge + store credentials	Accept a payment from your customer as well as saving a customer's payment credentials for future recurring payments	Subscriptions, memberships

Supported payment methods per scenario

Card Payment, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Pay by Bank are all available in all three scenarios.

⚠️
Pay by Bank behaves differently in the two credential-storing scenarios. In both Store credentials only and Charge + store credentials, Hosted Checkout creates the VRP mandate but never takes a payment — including the first payment in a Charge + Store flow. All Pay by Bank payments must be initiated separately via Initiate a variable recurring payment. See Pay by Bank in Hosted Checkout.
