CheckoutSessions

Learn more about the CheckoutSession resource

A CheckoutSession resource represents a one-time use PayRex-hosted checkout page and will expire at a certain period.

Create a CheckoutSession if you prefer PayRex to provide a Checkout Page for your customer. Create a CheckoutSession and redirect your customer to the url attribute of a CheckoutSession.

If you prefer to have full control of the Checkout Page and PayRex will just handle the payment processing, please refer to the Elements guide.
