Checkout.com
Checkout.com is a global payments platform processing card and alternative payment methods for online businesses at scale.
What is Checkout.com?
Checkout.com built its business on the premise that payment processing should be faster, more flexible, and more transparent than the incumbent acquirers had made it. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in London, the company operates its own acquiring infrastructure across multiple regions rather than relying on third-party acquiring banks, which gives it more control over authorization rates, pricing, and the debugging of failed transactions. That direct model attracted high-growth technology companies and marketplaces that needed more visibility into their payment stack than legacy processors provided.
The platform handles the full payment lifecycle: card acceptance, local payment methods, fraud screening, authorization, capture, refunds, and dispute management. Checkout.com's APIs are the primary integration point for merchants, and the company maintains SDKs for major programming languages and platforms. The Dashboard provides real-time visibility into transaction volumes, authorization rates, chargebacks, and payouts. The platform supports a wide range of payment methods beyond cards, including digital wallets and bank transfers across dozens of markets.
Merchants integrating Checkout.com experience availability problems in ways that are directly tied to revenue. An authorization API outage means payment attempts fail at checkout, translating immediately into lost sales and cart abandonment. Webhook delivery failures mean merchants' backend systems do not receive payment confirmation events, causing order management systems to get out of sync with actual payment state. Dashboard authentication failures block finance and operations teams from monitoring payment volumes during critical sales periods. Refund processing delays create customer service escalations when refunds do not appear within expected windows.
Outage.gg tracks Checkout.com platform status using real-time community reports from merchants and engineering teams. If payment processing is failing, webhooks are not delivering, or the Dashboard is down, the live status page shows current impact.
