Kustom Docs

The checkout solution behind every payment.

Kustom is omni-channel by design, built for the entire shopping journey. One integration takes your shoppers from first impression to coming back for more.

Find your door

Most merchants never write this code. Everything else here is for whoever builds the integration and runs it once it’s live, and for the agents they work with.

One order, end to end

The checkout creates the order, and every other product works on that same one, each at its own stage of the money’s life. Start wherever your integration does — nothing here commits you to the rest.

  1. In the cartNo order yet
    Elements

    Express buttons and payment displays, dropped into pages you already own.

  2. At the checkoutThe customer pays
    Checkout

    The embedded checkout that creates the order. Also hosted by Kustom, and on a terminal in store.

  3. AuthorizedThe money is reserved
    Order Management

    Capture as you ship — that call is what moves the money. Refund a return, cancel what you can’t fulfill.

  4. CapturedThe money moves
  5. SettledIn your account
    Finance

    Payout schedules, and the settlement reports that reconcile them.

True at every stage: the order and its lifecycle, and the rules every API follows. The four calls behind a direct integration are drawn in How a purchase happens, and what a complete integration does at every stage is in Build a perfect integration.

Three URLs for an agent

What to hand a coding agent, in the order it should read them — how to set one up.
