Online payments, configured with Clearly
Checkout + payment gateway + merchant account
Choose the approach that fits your business
Keep the platform you use or build the experience you need. Start with your existing store, the customer journey and your development resources.
Hosted checkout
Less development work
Let customers pay through a secure hosted payment page without building the entire card-entry experience.
Embedded / tokenized checkout
A checkout within your website experience
Use supported hosted or tokenized payment capture for closer visual continuity with your site.
Direct payment APIs
For custom software and checkout workflows
Connect your application to supported payment APIs. Best suited to businesses with development resources.
Store integrations
For the store you already run
Connect your ecommerce platform through a supported payment app or plugin. We verify compatibility with your setup.

Works with the platforms you already use
Clearly supports payment integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce / Magento and BigCommerce. We check the payment connection, store plan and required features before recommending a setup.
Shopify
WooCommerce
Adobe Commerce
BigCommerce
PrestaShop and additional supported platforms are available through our integration range. Bring your store name and version so we can confirm the right connection.
Availability varies by platform, connector, gateway, country and merchant account. Wallets, saved payments and recurring billing need to be checked for the specific integration.
FOR DEVELOPERS & SOFTWARE TEAMS
Custom software? Connect payments to the way it works.
Use supported APIs for checkout, customer/payment profiles and transaction management. Hosted and embedded options can reduce the card data handled by your application.
Develop and test in the appropriate demo or sandbox environment. Supported webhooks or notifications can keep order systems informed of payment events.

Choose the integration around the merchant workflow.
Payment event → your application
Confirm the payment result before fulfilling the order. Event types and notification methods depend on the gateway and integration.
Run the payment, then manage what comes next
Manage online sales with transaction visibility, payment references and reports in the configured payment system.
Funding follows the merchant account’s schedule. An approved checkout is not an immediate bank deposit.
For staff-entered phone orders, use Virtual Terminal. For bills customers pay later, explore payment invoicing.
01
Authorize and capture
Take payment at checkout, or use a supported authorization-and-capture workflow when an order is ready.
02
Void or refund
Void an eligible unsettled transaction or refund an eligible settled payment, including partial refunds where supported.
03
Find and reconcile
Review transaction status and reconcile orders with payment and settlement reports.
Make the next payment easier
Let returning customers reuse an authorized saved payment method through supported tokenized profiles. Your application stores the payment reference rather than raw card numbers.
Repeat orders, subscriptions and instalments
Support subscriptions, repeat orders and instalment plans through the configured gateway. Confirm customer consent, schedule options and integration support.
Offer the payment methods that fit your customers
Online card payments
Accept enabled Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover cards through your merchant account and gateway. Card-brand and currency setup are confirmed during onboarding.
Wallets and bank payments
Offer Apple Pay or Google Pay through supported checkout and processor configurations. U.S. ACH/eCheck and other payment methods require the appropriate account and approval.
Wallets and bank payments are not automatically included in every hosted form or store plugin. Tell us which methods you need so we can confirm the right checkout, processor and country configuration.
Reduce card-data exposure. Keep control of fraud.
Use supported hosted or tokenized capture to limit card-data exposure, alongside a secure website and the applicable PCI validation.
Check the transaction
Supported address/card-code checks and configurable fraud controls help review online transactions. Available tools depend on the checkout and account configuration.
Choose the right collection method
Your card-data collection method affects PCI responsibilities. We review the integration requirements before launch; security controls do not guarantee fraud prevention.

Get a QuoteOnline payment questions, answered
How can Clearly help my business accept payments online?
Clearly helps Canadian and U.S. businesses connect a supported ecommerce platform, website or app to payment processing. Choose a platform integration, hosted payment page, embedded checkout or custom API setup around your business.
Can I keep my existing website or store?
Often, yes. We review your platform, version, store plan, country and payment requirements before recommending a connection. Saved payment data requires a separate migration assessment.
When should I choose a hosted payment page?
A hosted payment page is a useful starting point when you want customer-entered online payments with less payment-form development. Embedded checkout or a custom integration can provide more control. See our Hosted Payment Pages product page for the detailed options.
Can I offer subscriptions and saved payment methods?
Yes, through supported profiles and recurring-payment features, with customer authorization. Availability depends on the gateway and platform integration. See Recurring Payments for schedule and billing options.
Can I take payments in CAD and USD?
Currency availability depends on the merchant account, gateway and processor. Confirm the account structure for the currencies you need; do not assume a single account supports every presentment or settlement currency.
What does the payment gateway do?
A gateway carries payment requests between the checkout and processing network. It can also support transaction management, profiles, reporting and security controls. Clearly helps configure the gateway as part of the overall online payment setup.
