Banxa(@BanxaOfficial):"Headless checkout" gets used a lot without much explanation. Here's what it means. Two ways to build a payment screen: ➡️ Hosted: The provider builds the screen. You get redirected to it, or it loads in a frame. Either way it's theirs. ➡️ Headless: The app builds its own screen and the provider runs underneath, through an API the user never sees. The dividing line is who owns the interface. Why that matters to the person paying: you stay in the app you chose, at the moment you're most likely to hesitate. You're not asked to trust an unfamiliar logo while your card details are on screen. Who's responsible doesn't change. Where the rules require it, the licensed company is still named at the point of payment. Banxa has been underneath this market for 12 years, across 400+ integrations.
