Payments beyond a cart

Collect payments for services, access, and invoices

Use supported Genius Checkout integrations and payment links for bookings, memberships, invoices, events, and service payments.

The connection

Bookings, memberships, and invoices and Genius Checkout

Genius Checkout supports payment journeys that begin outside a traditional product cart. A service provider can collect a booking fee, an organization can charge for membership, and a business can attach a payment link to an invoice.

The originating software remains responsible for the booking, access, ticket, or invoice record. Genius Checkout returns the payment result and keeps its own transaction history.

Available workflow

What the connection supports

  • Service and appointment payments
  • Membership and course payments
  • Invoice payment links
  • Event and ticket payment handoff
  • Deposits and scheduled charges where the source integration supports them

Implementation path

Connect without guessing at the gateway

Use the provider details issued for the merchant account. Test and live credentials must stay in their matching environments.

  1. 01

    Connect your merchant account

    Add the credentials supplied by your bank, gateway, or wallet provider to Genius Checkout. Test and live credentials stay separate.

  2. 02

    Connect the software

    Install or authorize the Genius Checkout integration for the platform. The connection keeps gateway credentials outside the store or CRM.

  3. 03

    Run a controlled test

    Use the approved test mode, verify the return flow and order status, then repeat the checklist in live mode with a permitted low-value transaction.

Before you start

What you need

Keep credentials out of email and screenshots. Enter them only inside the secure merchant configuration.

  • A supported integration or hosted payment link
  • A configured gateway
  • A defined return and fulfillment process
