This page is for teams planning a new card checkout. Use Payment Element for new card projects. Why:
  • card fields are hosted in a secure iframe
  • tokenization stays outside your DOM
  • 3DS next actions are handled in the same flow
  • your backend still owns transaction creation and order state

Card payment model

  1. Your frontend initializes Payment Element with a public key.
  2. The customer enters card data inside hosted fields.
  3. Your frontend sends a tokenized payload to your backend.
  4. Your backend calls POST /v2/transactions.
  5. If required, 3DS is completed and the final transaction state is delivered by webhook or reconciliation.
