Checkout constitutes a request from the merchant to the end user for the payment of a monetary amount, which can be optionally predefined, and is usually expressed in USD or other fiat currencies. In this process, the end user is granted the flexibility to choose the blockchain and cryptocurrency through which they wish to make the payment.
A checkout can be initiated by the merchant either through the Inqud API or manually via the app's user interface.
After creating a Checkout, there are two methods available to present it to the end user:
Redirect: Direct your user to the Inqud Hosted page specifically designed for this purpose.
Widget: Embed the Inqud Widget on your website and initiate it by specifying the Checkout ID.
Integrate Redirect flow:
Integrate Widget to your website:
Fixed Price Checkout: In this type, the merchant initiates a checkout by specifying the amount that the end-user is required to pay. This amount can be set in either fiat or cryptocurrencies.
No Price Checkout: For a No Price Checkout, the merchant sets up a checkout without specifying a particular amount. This approach allows the end user to pay an arbitrary amount, as long as it falls within the minimum and maximum limits established by Inqud.
Predefined Amount Checkout: For a Predefined Amount Checkout, the merchant sets up a checkout with specifying currency, several amount options too choose or allowing user to enter amount by himself. This approach allows the end user to choose from suggested options or pay an arbitrary amount, as long as it falls within the minimum and maximum limits established by Inqud.
Merchant Checkout Creation: The merchant sets up a checkout by specifying details: name, amount, and currency.
Example: "Apple iPhone 15 Pro (256 GB) - Black Titanium, 1399 USD."
Checkout Display: The merchant then displays the created checkout on their website through the widget or provides a link to an Inqud hosted page for the checkout.
User Selects Cryptocurrency: The end user views the checkout details and selects their preferred cryptocurrency for payment.
Example: The user chooses BTC.
Inqud Calculates Approximate Amount: Inqud computes an approximate amount to be paid in the selected cryptocurrency.
Example: Approximately 0.037627 BTC.
Payment Initiation: The end user clicks 'pay', and the Inqud widget displays the exact amount to be paid, the cryptocurrency type, the payment address, and a payment window timer.
Example: "0.037627 BTC to tb1qppgscyazkppucrqe7vvsha0zf7h68c2tmy6dwr, with a 60-minute window."
User Completes Payment: The user sends the exact amount to the provided address.
Transaction Registration and Status Update: Inqud registers the incoming transaction, conducts necessary checks, and updates the Checkout status accordingly.
Notification to Merchant: Inqud notifies the merchant's system of any checkout status changes via a web hook.
Final Status Display to User: The Inqud widget shows the final status to the end user. In a redirect flow, it displays a 'return to merchant website' button. If it’s an embedded widget, it executes the registered JavaScript callbacks.
