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.
  • 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
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.

BienManger.com uses Checkout.com as its main e-commerce payment solution for all credit card payments, mainly for France, and for payments via local solutions adapted to each European country based on consumer habits in each country.

  • Integration of a wide range of payment methods
  • Modern customer and back-office interfaces
  • Good risk and fraud management
  • French-language interfaces

Checkout.com is one of our primary gateways. Seamlessly integrated into our payment stack, it delivers reliable payment services across our brands for eCommerce traffic and other business initiatives.
  • They provide excellent advice from knowledgeable subject matter experts on all things payments.
  • They adapt quickly to our business-changing needs, helping us stay agile as our business grows.
  • They provide trustworthy and reliable services that enable us to take payments with as little friction as possible.
  • They are as passionate about performance as we are, working closely with us to ensure we maximize the chances of success for every transaction.
  • 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.

We use Checkout.com as one of our primary acquirers to accept payments from users' credit cards (Visa, Mastercard).
For us, as a crypto on-ramp and off-ramp platform, the acceptance rates, settlement period and the fees are the most crucial business parameters.
  • covers a wide list of countries with high conversion
  • makes settlements T+1
  • offers competitive pricing
  • KAM response time
Depends on the geography. Success rates varies depending on the country

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.
  • 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.
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 Checkout.com for our subscription business. We wanted a product that could support applepay and be flexible with changing gauges for authorizing and approving credit cards. Also, we needed a true partner with dedicated account manager.
  • Applepay
  • User Dashboard
  • Service
  • Creating onboarding process to follow
  • Explaining different payment methods and support better
Checkout.com is well suited as it uses new technology to support Applepay. Checkout.com doesn't describe accepted payment methods in depth.

Checkout.com helps me to verify a customer who wants to use a card to fund their brokerage/investing account, and automatically settles the proceeds with a US based custodian of funds.
  • 3DS Auth process
  • Timely settlement to an overseas merchant
  • Highly Stable API and Good Documentation for Implementation
  • The reporting around fees charged
  • The inability to get fees for a particular transaction till 10-15 minutes after it has happened. We cannot show the exact fees to our customer.
  • The excel report of the checkout.com fees is rather crazy and has two different lines for certain fees as well as too many columns. There must be a simpler excel breakdown possible for those who don't want all the details.
Checkout.com is good at the verification process and redirects based on the success/fail of a verification

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.
  • 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.
  • Preset fraud rules cause a lot of unnecessary friction.
Overall, it's a solid tool, but it's just for processing payments. Some work needs to be done on UX and dashboards.

We use Checkout.com for cross-border cards and, starting next week, handle Nordic countries and part of the UK market. With Checkout.com, we can split volumes among providers to have redundancy and optimize performance so that Checkout.com may be the best option. 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.
  • Account Manager definitely present to quickly handle our needs.
  • Checkout.com is the only provider proactively proposing solutions to optimize our routing strategy to increase conversion rates and reduce costs for more than ten years.
  • They have extreme expertise in the area of payments that is not so obvious.
  • Regarding IA, the report did not contain much data at the beginning, but they worked on it. This is excellent!
  • 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.

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.
  • 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
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.

Checkout.com are one of our payment providers, we process payments and process chargebacks in our ecommerce environment. Checkout.com offer multiple alternate payment methods to our ever-expanding global business. Checkout.com work with us allowing our fraud engine to determine stronger customer authentication.
  • Account manage
  • IT Support
  • Communication
  • Checkout.com can sometimes be a little over confident when we have had an issue, and this has delayed fixing the problem
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.
  • 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)
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.

Checkout.com is our main card acquirer for LiveScore Bet in multiple markets. Performance has been excellent - improving over the time we've been using them. We've had good success with trying out new technologies with Checkout.com as well - utilising their Risk Engine, Exemptions, Network Tokenisation, Hosted Payment pages etc. As a fully-licensed and responsible betting company, the choice of solid partners is critical to our own success and given the huge importance of Card Payments, the partnership with Checkout.com is particularly valuable.
  • Card acceptance rates
  • Fair and transparent pricing
  • Good use of new technologies like Network Tokens, Exemptions, Risk Management...
  • Friendly and helpful staff
  • Great, transparent communication of changes coming from the schemes
  • Custom reporting at times isn't great
  • Working with other acquirers through their gateway isn't generally possible
  • APM coverage is spotty
We took a chance with Checkout.com when launching LiveScore Bet, as they didn't have a lot of experience in our market. It has been a rewarding journey so far as we have grown significantly with their help, with great technology and very fair pricing.

Launching in new territories would have been problematic without Checkout.com being so helpful and quick with turnarounds during the onboarding journeys.

Checkout.com do well when it comes to the 'name on the tin' - the cashier/checkout journeys are great. They need to improve on the payout side of the equation e.g. supporting ApplePay Payouts, and perhaps offering Open Banking journeys.

We use Checkout.com for incoming collections. Checkout.com is present in most of the jurisdictions, which was a major driver for our decision.
  • Risk Assessment.
  • Easy to use dashboard to track all activities.
  • Customer Service and support is one of the best.
  • Can't think of any improvement areas; their new dashboard is up there in terms of DIY.
They are well suited for ease of account opening, and the integration team is hence on during the onboarding stage. Reporting could be integrated into the website.

We process CIT/MIT transactions via Checkout.com, acquiring connections globally. No business problems; we just make sure our transactions are processed with the higher auth rate possible and with good security.
  • The intelligent routing system is great.
  • The team is very professional.
  • the antifraud tool is great.
  • Reporting needs to be improved; there are only two reports available.
  • Reporting needs to be upgraded with extra data and be able to download automatically.
  • schemes that are supported are limited (we want all of them, international, I mean).
Very good performance in Asia countries for us, better than our old already set up acquirer. Very flexible, Intelligent routing team, helpful and very efficient in what they do. In EU is getting better and better. The US becomes worst, thus probably CKO will not be the best choice for this market.

We use this as a payment and credit card merchant for our website to process credit cards and payments for purchases. This allows us to process card payments and purchases on our website efficiently. It also allows us to fraud-check customers making payments to ensure that we do not receive any fraudulent charges, providing good e-commerce.
  • Fraud checking.
  • Multiple payment options.
  • Multi market and localisation for payments for customers.
  • We have had difficulty integrating our Klarna with their system.
Overall, we've had an excellent experience with Checkout.com. The integration was very well organized and without problems. We have also found them very communicative and very supportive. Comparative to our previous card merchants and previous experiences, they have been of a very high standard and very professional. All in all, we have been very happy with their setup and support.

Our company needs to collect payments online from end users. We offer food ordering online, and our brands are spread across 70+ countries. For our business, it's important to offer the best user experience - a seamless payment flow to increase loyalty and overall satisfaction with the order process. Apart from that, we need to support several acquirers per market, more than 1 gateway for backup processing. We need a reliable partner with a high uptime because we used to have a partner before who was frequently down. Another problem is provider support, many either don't offer it or its quality is low. Our payment setup is very complex, and we need a solution that fits all cases. Checkout.com is one of my key providers for online card acquiring across different regions. I use their gateway, aggregator, and acquiring solutions in MENA and APAC regions. They work with all top acquirers in each market, support several gateways. Apart from that, I use their PRISM product to set up fraud rules and to blacklist suspicious customers. On a daily basis, I use their merchant dashboard to download transaction reports and check invoices. The Checkout.com team helps me with performance analysis and investigations, consults on new products, and supports during API upgrade/implementation process.
  • Processing is stable, Checkout is never down, high uptime
  • Acquiring and gateway performance is excelled
  • Anti-fraud tool is great, has a lot of risk filters and a shadow mode, an easy to use tool
  • Amazing merchant support
  • Best pricing/fees
  • Work with all top acquirers
  • Great success rate
  • Support both network and gateway tokens
  • APIs are easy
  • It would be great to have acquiring license in more countries
  • It wont be easy to merge to merchant accounts
  • Token migration (from Checkout) might take a lot of time
  • They don't provide a settlement report (list of transactions that fall under a current payout) or a list of transactions that were included in an invoice (gateway fee)
Checkout.com will be a great choice for a merchant with a significant transaction count - they meet the needs of the biggest merchants.
It is a trusted partner of ours and they are clearly focused on a long-term partnership with their clients. They grow fast as a company - launching new markets, new payment options, and products. Checkout.com listens to the needs of their clients and they are usually flexible in terms of adding new functionalities/features/payment methods.
Plus I already recommended them to my colleagues, and we expanded our cooperation to more markets.

Data enrichment retention is due to an aggregated payment gateway, acquiring, and processor solution, which ensures the issuer gets the data touch points, so the customer and we gets transaction conversion.
  • Data enrichment retention.
  • Issuer approval rates.
  • SCA exemption use flexibility.
  • Supportive account management.
  • The portal interface for analytics is on the old integration, so it will be improved when on the new one.
  • Payment functions is on the old integration so will be improved when on the new.
Checkout.com is well suited to process payments with high acceptance rates due to data retention in the payment flow as an aggregated gateway, acquirer, and processor, which is a USP. Also well positioned to assist with SCA 3DS exemptions as they provide this services solution but allow the merchant to use their own exemption strategies where strong TRA capability is available.
