Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Checkout.com is my payment gateway overall and acquirer in UAE and SG.
We sell only online.
We use Checkout.com for online sales of Hotels and Flights and for offline bookings via phone using pay per link. We are actively using the dashboard for reporting, analytics and using as well the dispute management module.
Pros and Cons
  • Reliability of the platform
  • Account management: bi-weekly calls and follow up by email or Slack, good understanding of our needs and high engagement
  • Technical account manager: as above, high engagement with us and sharing Checkout.com technical roadmap
  • Performance: with the recent enhancement in intelligent acceptance,
  • Mix of own and third party acquiring: this is much appreciated for a merchant like us to be able to process locally via third party acquiring when Checkout.com does not have its own
  • Commercials: some competitors provide better fees, especially for cross border transactions
  • Support team: the speed to get an answer can be improved
  • We would like more options when it comes to settlement currencies
Likelihood to Recommend
If one is looking for a reliable and performing payment gateway I definitely recommend Checkout.com. Especially if the company is selling in many markets and wants to have a mix of local and cross border acquiring.
If cost is the only metric (although it should not be), some alternative providers do better.

Pros and Cons
  • Manage payments.
  • Reports.
  • The API services are very good.
  • The documentation is really helpful.
  • The support team sometimes does not reply.
  • The new checkout platform is missing some features that the old platform used to have, like a section to see a list of all the associated cards of any customer.

Pros and Cons

  • Look more into long-term strategy
  • Improve AR where it is possible

We are using it for building our payment gateway service where customers (in high volume) can pay with ease using their debit/credit card or e-wallets without the need for us to be PCI-DSS compliant. We also use the feature to pull payments reports daily for the purposes of internal reconcilliation. Probably more.

We use Checkout.com payment gateway for collecting payments from customers who make hotel reservations on our website. We only use it for card payments. Recently also started using it for digital wallet payments (Apple Pay), soon will enable Google Pay too. However, would like to also offer APMs and instalment payments to our customers.
Pros and Cons
  • 3Ds document is clear and mentions about liability shift
  • Payouts are daily
  • reports are easily accessible with reports API
  • more APMs without the requirement for the merchant to have a company in the local market
  • instalment payment options with free instalment to customers in various regions
  • showing balance figures in dashboard
Likelihood to Recommend
Liability shift is an important issue for our business and Checkout.com has a clear guideline for this in its 3ds documentation publicly available. The payouts are daily. Transaction fees are present in the dashboard under a transaction. Easy to configure fraud rules settings are available. Not ideal for APMs, not ideal if you want to have a direct integration with Xero or to see balance figure from the dashboard.

  • It would be great to see more data points available in the data analytics area of the dashboard.
  • While coverage is good, more APMs, particularly across Europe, would be great to allow us to maximise the opportunities there.
  • An advanced query tool built into the platform that allowed access to manipulate the raw data via SQL and extract it for further analysis and aggregation with other data sets.

Checkout offers great service and expertise and stands above its peers in full-service offering, integration, and ongoing support.

We use Checkout.com for credit/debit card and payout transactions, and it currently processes around 90% of our card volume. It allows us to provide quick and seamless purchases of cryptocurrencies via our service. Checkout.com is currently connected with the IXOPAY orchestration platform which is our primary integration (we are not integrated directly with Checkout.com). We currently have one secondary payment service provider that is also connected to IXOPAY in the same way as Checkout.com.
Pros and Cons
  • Account management (by Charis and the team)
  • Customer support for specific transactions (which is integrated nicely into the platform)
  • Tech support regarding integration, etc. (really quick and very helpful)
  • We miss downloadable PDF proofs of specific transactions (both debit and payout). We occasionally need this to prove to the client that we actually processed certain transactions.
Likelihood to Recommend
We only have experience as a crypto merchant, and we had great experience so far, so we would say that Checkout.com is definitely a good service provider for crypto merchants.
But in general, we like the simplicity and user-friendliness of the service (but not at the cost of providing more advanced features, especially with regards to its risk engine).

We use it to process card payments and manage our chargebacks. We removed all fraud rules and used another service to risk score transactions, as we find the preset rules very limiting and clunky.
Pros and Cons
  • Quick for pulling reports.
  • Simple management of allow and block lists.
  • Quick and responsive portal.
  • Dashboards are not intuitive and difficult to create/manage.
  • You can't select more fields (e.g., email address) when reviewing disputes, and you can't accept more than one at a time.

In addition, we use checkout.com to handle exemptions (TRA) in a currency different than EUR and take advantage of their threshold in the UK, which is higher than all our providers.

  • I would like no limits in volumes due to some questionable stakes.
  • Not much to add.

Checkout.com is the best provider we have had in the last ten years. It is very well suited to developing solutions for conversion rate optimization, cost reduction, and services like smart acceptance. I don't see any issue with them; there is no scenario they are not able to handle. I don't see any scenario in which they are not suitable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Checkout.com to enable our users to load their fintech accounts at Modak. We use them to accept debit and credit cards across all major networks - Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover. We use multiple types of their integrations - including one time payment links, recurring payments, subscriptions, etc., As such, we are one of the power users of Checkout.com.
Pros and Cons
  • Great implementation support
  • Good service for a mid market client or a fast growing startup
  • The tech works and seamless in acceptance
  • Their in-built fraud tooling is getting very good
  • Their dashboard can get better. They have been making improvements
  • Faster settlements as it's a bit of a pain to have big reserves till ACH clears every day
  • Much stronger consumer facing brand name in the US so more end customers trust the links powered by Checkout.com
Likelihood to Recommend
I'd recommend them highly. Stripe is too messy on mid-market/enterprise support and it's easy to get lost in their sales qualifying matrix. Adyen is too big and doesn't want to work with mid-market/ fast growing startups. Checkout.com takes that time to understand and work with you to figure out how to create solutions. It's one of the best infra partners we worked with in fintech. Hence, we highly recommend them.

Pros and Cons
  • Account manage

  • Checkout.com can sometimes be a little over confident when we have had an issue, and this has delayed fixing the problem
Likelihood to Recommend
We have found since we started using Checkout.com we have a very good conversion rate and i also find if we have an issue checkout.con have been good communicators, however I have found that when we did have an issue, checkout.com were adamant the issue wasnt with them, but it turns out it was, so we cant be over confident when it comes to bugs etc

Checkout.com is our main payment gateway when it comes to accepting transactions all over the world. Having clients worldwide, it might be difficult to be able to perform well in terms of payments acceptance. Checkout.com allows our users to successfully make purchases by having a wide selection of processors which allows them to perform well in different countries.
Pros and Cons
  • Performing at a high acceptance rate in a variety of countries
  • Advanced reporting practices
  • Easy to use & UX friendly dashboard
  • Great customer service
  • More advanced ways of viewing useful data (i.e. graphs for AR over time, etc)
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it's great to use for medium or large companies, but I believe it might not be worth considering it for someone smaller due to competitive pricing. Also I heard cases where users had a hard time integrating their software, therefore it might be a good idea to plan accordingly and be ready to dedicate decent dev resources.
