Integrating Checkout.com to Accept Payments

Integrating Your Checkout.com Account To Accept Customer Payments.

Please note this payment gateway integration is newly built.

In case you notice any nuances or issues, please reach out to us via live chat or at support@paykickstart.com and we’d be happy to investigate any specific case further.

We recommend testing this integration in one separate Campaign, or a new Campaign, first – prior to switching all Campaigns to the Checkout.com integration.

WARNING! Altering your Checkout.com Public and Secret Keys, and/or Processing Channel ID after the connection with PayKickstart has been made is strongly discouraged!

After integrating with Checkout.com, changing your Public and Secret keys, and or the Processing Channel ID, would prevent our system from being able to contact Checkout.com to attempt rebills for any existing subscriptions before the Key / IDs were changed.

If you change these credentials, then existing customer subscriptions created prior to the change will need to update their billing via the Billing Portal in order to create a new token with the new Keys or ID to continue the subscription billings.

Note:  You can integrate multiple Checkout.com accounts within your single PayKickstart account to allow the use of different Checkout.com accounts with different Campaigns.

Step 1:

In the Configure menu select Integrations.

Click on the dropdown Menu and select “Payment” or use the search bar to locate “Checkout.com”

A Pop-up will appear.

  • Select Checkout.com from the list of Payment Gateways.
  • Set an account display name for the account to use as a reference in your PayKickstart account.
  • Select the Base Currency the customer payments are processed in.
  • Public Key – Located within your Checkout.com Developers tab, under the Keys section
  • Secret Key – Located within your Checkout.com Developers tab, under the Keys section
  • Processing Channel ID – provided by Checkout.com

Your Public and Secret keys can be obtained by accessing your Checkout.com Dashboard, then going to the Developers tab and accessing the Keys section. This is where you can view and manage your keys:

The Processing Channel ID corresponds to a specific merchant category code (MCC) that you are set up to process payments for.

Your processing channel IDs will be provided to you after we have completed your Checkout.com setup.

If you do not have a Processing Channel ID yet, you can email Checkout.com’s team at support@checkout.com with your request including your example of the sales page URL, your channel name, and redirection paths after a purchase attempt has occurred:

(OPTIONAL) Activate Google Pay: After filling out all the fields, enable Google Pay in the Integrations Section and input your Merchant ID.

Once you have entered the keys and the ID into the corresponding fields, click on “Connect“.

Step 2:

The next step is enabling Checkout.com for Campaigns you wish to use the integration as a payment option for products within the campaign.

Select the specific Campaign settings.​​

Enable the Credit Card feature and select the specific Checkout.com account you integrated with.

(OPTIONAL) Once you’ve successfully connected your Google Pay account through Payment Integrations, activate Google Pay through Campaign Settings.

Make sure to Save the campaign settings.

That’s it. You’re done integrating Checkout.com with your vendor account.

Customers can now purchase products in this campaign via card payments.


Note:  Checkout.com’s test keys and test cards will not function on PayKickstart’s checkout forms. For security reasons, you will need to use the built-in PayKickstart Test Mode to test your transactions.
