What it does

Checkout.com is a global payment technology platform enabling businesses to accept payments online, in-app, and in-person across 150+ currencies and local payment methods worldwide. AI capabilities include machine learning fraud detection that assesses transaction risk in real time, AI-powered authorization optimization that intelligently routes transactions and retries declined payments, adaptive 3DS authentication that adds friction only when fraud risk warrants it, and payment performance analytics that identify revenue leakage in the checkout flow. Checkout.com competes with Adyen and Stripe in the global enterprise payments market, differentiated by direct acquiring relationships in key markets and strong emerging market coverage.

  • Enterprise focus with corresponding complexity: Small businesses and startups find Stripe or Shopify Payments simpler to integrate without dedicated payment engineering.
  • Custom integration required for advanced features: Getting the most from Checkout.com's AI optimization requires engineering investment in the payment stack.
