The Unified Checkout in Momentus Payments gives payers a seamless payment experience fully integrated into Momentus applications. Payers can make payments by both card and bank transfer, as well as store payment information to reduce friction for future payments.
In this article, we'll walk you through the Unified Checkout so you can understand what your clients will experience:
Redirect to the Unified Checkout
A payer will reach the Unified Checkout from a Momentus Application or Payment Portal. In Elite, this could be the Client Portal or the Exhibitor Store. In this example, a payer has chosen to make a payment through the Enterprise Payment Portal. The payer will fill out all necessary information, select that they want to pay now, and then click Submit (depending on the application, the button to start the payment process could say Pay Invoice or other text).
When the payer clicks the button to start the payment process, they are redirected to the Unified Checkout.
In Enterprise this looks like this:
In Elite, it looks like this:
Payment Form
The Unified Checkout page provides a streamlined checkout experience for payers. It features three components that can be controlled by the Merchant:
- Header Logo: You are able to display your logo.
- Fee Label and Tooltip Text: You can define the display text for the fee (shown as Stripe Fee below) and the text in the information tooltip which explains this fee to payers.
- Merchant Name: Define your display name for various parts of the page. Note that this particular example is only applicable to Enterprise accounts, as it has a mechanism to store payment information to use later.
The page is made up of the following sections:
- Header: Shows the merchant logo and option to navigate back to the portal from which payment is being made.
- Billing Information: The details of the individual making the payment. This will be retained and automatically loaded for returning payers.
- Payment Method and Details: Where the payer chooses payment method and enters their payment details. All details are tokenized and are not stored by Momentus at any point in the payment process, or when payment details are saved.
- Wallet Options:
- For Elite accounts, while the payer cannot save payment information for future transactions, cookies placed in the user's browser allows the payment information to autofill when the form is accessed via the same IP address.
- For Enterprise accounts, the payer can save a payment method for future transactions in the same manner as Elite accounts. They can also authorize the Merchant to use a payment method in future when they have a balance due. Tokenized credit card information will be saved on the account in Enterprise (a "credit card on file") for use with the Charge Now process.
- Amount and Tax Details: The payment amount, any fees passed on by the Merchant, and the total amount payable, are shown in this section.
- Order or Invoice Details: The name of the order, invoice or event is shown on the right, with the date and time of the service being paid for, as well as the number of attendees at the event.
- Submit Payment Button: Once all details have been added, the payer submits the payment and processing begins.
Payment Confirmation
When the payer has entered payment details correctly and submitted the payment, they reach the payment confirmation screen. This screen shows confirmation of their successful payment, along with a summary of the order and the amount paid, and details of the payment method used with options to update the wallet.
The payer can click Back to Merchant to return to the portal or application where they began.
Update Wallet Settings
The payer is able to update their wallet settings by clicking Edit Preferences, but see specifics for Elite and Enterprise above. This provides the same options to save, authorize payment methods, and make default as on the Checkout screen.
