# Checkout Security

***

### Hosted payments through Level 1 PCI-DSS Gateways

You can offer customers various Payment Methods, leveraging our Level 1 PCI-DSS-compliant Payment Gateway Partners and native integrations to accommodate diverse customer preferences.

Card details are taken on an external payment window hosted by the Payment Gateway.

This window is embedded into your website, maintaining a frictionless customer experience.

The transaction is handled externally from our server.

We are integrated with JudoPay, Global Payments and Braintree and can integrate with your preferred gateway if required.

We are also securely integrated with:

* **Express/Mobile Payments**: Amazon Pay, Google Pay, PayPal
* **Flexible/Buy Now Pay Later**: Klarna, PayPal Credit, Humm
* **Finance**: V12 Finance, Duologi

### Trust mechanisms throughout the Checkout design

We incorporate trust mechanisms throughout our standard Checkout design to build credibility and reassure customers.

This includes displaying security partner logos, padlocks, and payment processing logos.

By prominently featuring these trust signals, customers are reassured of the security and reliability of the transaction process.

### Securely collect email addresses for marketing purposes

Capture GDPR-compliant marketing data at checkout.

Customer data collection is linked to your privacy policy and consent is obtained transparently.

In integrated, the captured data is sent to your email marketing platform.

:electric\_plug: We are integrated with several leading platforms, including Mailchimp and Klaviyo, with which we hold a Silver Advisory Partner status.

### Enrich your Basket and Checkout with helpful content

Enhance your Basket and Checkout pages by adding helpful support content.

We can customise the template with important quick links, such as help desk information, live chat pop-up triggers, and other relevant resources.

This can prove especially useful for complex products that may raise questions or barriers to purchase.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.venditan.com/docs/basket-and-checkout/checkout-security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
