If you want to accept payments on your website, you typically need a payment gateway API integrated into your checkout flow.

Common options

  • Stripe API — very popular, easy to integrate
  • PayPal API — good if customers already use PayPal
  • Square API — good for online + in-person payments
  • Braintree — PayPal-owned, supports cards + wallets
  • Adyen — more enterprise/global
  • Razorpay / Paystack / Flutterwave — popular in specific regions

What the API usually does

  • Create a payment intent / checkout session
  • Collect card or wallet details securely
  • Confirm the payment
  • Send a webhook to your server when payment succeeds/fails
  • Handle refunds, subscriptions, and receipts

Typical website flow

  1. User clicks “Pay”
  2. Your server creates a payment session using the API
  3. Frontend redirects to hosted checkout or shows payment form
  4. Payment provider processes the payment
  5. Your server receives confirmation via webhook
  6. You mark the order as paid

Best choice for most websites

If you’re starting out, Stripe is usually the easiest and most developer-friendly.

Important

  • Don’t store raw card details on your server
  • Use PCI-compliant providers
  • Verify payments via server-side webhooks, not just frontend success messages

If you want, I can give you:

  1. a Stripe example in Node.js / PHP / Python, or
  2. help you choose the best API for your country and website type.
