How Hosted Payment Pages Work
Blog post from Basis Theory
Hosted payment pages are third-party hosted checkout solutions that let merchants accept payments quickly without building and maintaining their own payment infrastructure. They may be implemented as embedded iFrames, redirects to external payment webpages, or pop-up checkout windows, each offering different trade-offs in merchant control and customer experience. In a typical flow, customers shop on the merchant’s site before completing payment through the gateway, which collects payment and shipping details, authorizes the transaction, communicates with processors and issuers, and provides confirmation and receipts. Key advantages include reduced PCI compliance exposure because sensitive card data does not pass through merchant systems, simpler integration, faster deployment, and access to multiple payment methods. Although hosted pages limit checkout customization, alternatives such as customizable secure iFrame elements can allow businesses to retain greater design control while keeping sensitive information outside their systems.
