Checkout
Overview
The Checkout module under the Receivables section empowers businesses to easily create, share, and manage payment links to collect funds from customers. Whether you're collecting one-time payments or recurring dues, checkouts are the simplest way to initiate a payment request without needing to set up virtual accounts or complex invoicing flows.
Checkout Creation Steps
Step 1: Click on the Create Checkout CTA in the Receivables section
Create Checkout CTA in the Receivables section
Step 2: Select the Country and the Currency
This step will determine the payment methods that will be available for your customers at checkout.
Step 3: Select the Payment Setup
Select One-time Payment when the customer is making a single purchase, and select Recurring Payment when the customer is being charged on a regular schedule, such as subscriptions plans.

Create a One-time Payment Checkout
Step 1: Select the Payment Set Up
In Payment Setup, select One-time Payment
Step 2: Select the Capture Type
A Capture Type allows you to define how and when you want the funds to be collected from your customers after a card payment is authorized. The table below outlines the different capture types that Finmo supports for one-time payments.
| Capture Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Immediate Capture | Funds are captured immediately after authorisation. |
| Delayed Capture | Funds are automatically captured after a specified number of days set at checkout creation. When this option is selected, an additional field appears to configure the delay period. |
| Authorization Hold | Places a temporary hold on the customer’s card, confirming funds are available, with the final charge captured later. The capture must be done manually; otherwise, the authorization will be released. |
Delayed Capture and Authorization Hold will be applicable for Card Payment methods only.
