##Features##

Standard checkout

This feature allows merchants to have a standard checkout. It includes all payment methods (i.e. all credit cards, bar code payment, account money) and all window types (i.e. redirect, iframe, modal, blank and popup). Customization is not allowed.

Credit Card Customized Checkout

This feature will allow merchants to have a customized checkout for credit card payment. Thus, it will be possible to customize its look and feel, customers won’t be redirected away to complete the payment, and it will also reduce the checkout steps, improving conversion rates.

Ticket Checkout

This feature allows merchants to have a customized ticket checkout, according to each country's ticket method (i.e Boleto in Brazil, RapiPago in Argentina, etc). Thus, it will be possible to customize its look and feel, customers won’t be redirected away to complete the payment, and it will also reduce the checkout steps, improving conversion rates. The ticket link will be shown and when the customer click on it, another tab with the ticket will be opened.

Important information

SSL certificate

If you're using Ticket Checkout or Custom Checkout, it is a requirement that you have a SSL certificate, and the payment form to be provided under an HTTPS page. During the sandbox mode tests, you can operate over HTTP, but for homologation you'll need to acquire the certificate in case you don't have it.
