Checkout

Checkout is the point in the shopping process where consumers finalize their purchases and pay a business for certain products or services.

Checkout branding

This guide shows you how you can style your payment window.

With the Checkout Style Editor for Billwerk+ Pay Checkout, you can style the payment window by changing colors, text, and much more. If you combine this with uploading your logo in the payment window, you can achieve a payment window that better matches your brand.

Payment window without extra styling

The branding of your payment window is optional. If you do not have the time or the capacities to work on it right now, you can leave it as it is by default and think about the styling later.

In this case your payment window will look like this:

Checkout interface

Billwerk+ Pay provides two user interfaces to you that we need to distinguish:

The interface we are looking at in this article can be found under Configurations > Checkout management > Checkout.
The checkout helper can be found under Developers > Checkout Helper. This is the subject of another article.

Once you clicked on Default Configuration you can edit the different sections of the Checkout Edit Page. Let us have a look on these sections in detail.

Identity

Within this section you can set the Name of your check configuration and set a Handle.

This helps you to identify your configuration in case you use several different configurations for checkouts.

Locale

Here you can set the language of your checkout by using the dropdown list we provide.

In the Amount formatting field you can decide how to display currencies.

Payment Methods

In this section, you can select whether you would like to provide all Payment Methods to the customer or with you would like to present only a selection.

After this choice about the payment method selection, you can decide whether or not you would like to co-brand the DankOrt Card. You can choose between:

No preference
Dankort
Visa

Read more about Dankort and if you leave the choice to your customer.

On the bottom of the box, you can decide if you would like to display test card information or not to the customer.

In the Payment Method Order box below, you can decide whether you would like to arrange the selected payment methods in a certain order.

Design

Finally we come to the styling part of your checkout.

Once you uploaded your logo, you can see the preview right next to the upload.

Click on Set up custom style to open the Checkout Style editor.

We will discuss this interface in the next article.

Checkout style editor

This editor allows you to adapt the style of the checkout window (also for the subscription part) to your corporate design.

You can find the following chapters:

Great! Since you are already here, let us have a little tour of the interface.
