    Redirect the customer

    Redirect your customer to the redirect link’s href in the response. This will allow the customer to authorize the payment, before they are transferred to your predefined success or failure URL.


    Get details about a payment

    You can use the id found in the payment response, or the cko-session-id from the success/failure URL (e.g., https://www.checkout.com/order/succeeded?cko-session-id=sid_vii64oquze5u3h2x6hh4rurc4y) to retrieve details about the payment.

    The cko-session-id expires 15 minutes after being created.

    Use the details below to set up your request.
