Step 1: Create Your Checkout Experience
Log into the Rapyd Client Portal and start building your own checkout experience. Add your own colors, logo, and select all the payment methods that you would like to accept.
Customize Your Checkout Page
Checkout enables you to customize the look and feel to match your brand and website experience.
-
Once you create a Rapyd account, sign in to the Client Portal as described in Accessing the Client Portal and navigate to Settings > Branding.
The Checkout Page appears.
-
Tap the first icon on the toolbar and upload an image file (png, jpg, jpeg, gif) containing your company logo.
-
Tap the color icon to select the color of the buttons on the display.
-
In the Fallback URL field, enter the URL of the page that appears when the checkout process is completed or canceled and no specific URLs are provided for
complete_checkout_url
orcancel_checkout_url
when you generate your Checkout page.
Note: Other Hosted pages may have different fields such as complete_url
and cancel_url
( e.g. Beneficiary Tokenization Page, Rapyd Verify Hosted Page, Hosted IDV Page, and Hosted Page Card Token Object).
- Tap the wallet icon to select only the Payment Methods that you want to appear on your Checkout Page (Hosted Checkout only).

-
Choose your call to action (CTA) main text (Hosted Checkout only).
-
Add your customer support details including your privacy policy and terms & conditions. (optional).
Your customized Checkout Page appears in the Preview panel.
-
Tap Save.
- Refer to Customizing Your Hosted Page for a detailed guide.
Step 2: Generate Your Checkout Page
To generate your Rapyd Checkout page, use the Create Checkout Page method.
- Before you send your first API request to the Rapyd platform, you need to set up your Authentication Headers including your Request Signatures, and then send a HTTPS POST Request to Rapyd which will generate the Rapyd Checkout page.
Note: See Make Your First API Call to set this up if you haven’t yet done so.
- Once your Headers and Signature setup is complete, request the Checkout Body. The following three required parameters are required for creating a checkout page:
- Amount
- Country
- Currency
The example below shows a list of required and optional parameters used in the body of a Create Checkout Page request. The request should contain at least the three required parameters mentioned above:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
amount (required) | The amount of the payment, in units of the currency defined in currency. Decimal. |
country (required) | The two-letter ISO 3166-1 ALPHA-2 code for the country. Uppercase. |
currency (required) | Three-letter ISO 4217 code for the currency used in the amount field. Uppercase. |
complete_checkout_url | URL where the customer is redirected when checkout is successful. This page can be set dynamically for each generated checkout page as it overrides the fallback URL that was set in the Client Portal. |
cancel_checkout_url | URL where the customer is redirected after pressing Back to Website to exit the hosted page. This URL overrides the merchant_website URL. Does not support localhost URLs. |
payment_method_types_include | List of payment methods that are displayed on the checkout page. |
merchant_reference_id | Identifier for the transaction. Defined by the merchant. Can be used for reconciliation. |
requested_currency | Determines the currency that the customer will use to pay, when it is different from the currency that the merchant wants to receive. Three-letter ISO 4217 code. When this field is set, the checkout page displays the following information: - Original amount and currency. - The converted amount in the requested currency. - The exchange rate. |
Note: For a description of all the parameters, see Checkout Page Object.
Third Party Payment Flow
When the payment_flow_type of the payment method/s that you provide to your customers is a third party redirect, make sure to provide URLs in the complete_payment_url and error_payment_url parameters.
The customer will be redirected to these URLs after completing a payment.
To determine the payment_flow_type, see List Payment Methods by Country

Alternatively, you may specify a page_expiration
parameter in the Create Checkout Page request and choose a different value for the expiration of the Checkout page, in Unix time.
