A **checkout** is the reusable object behind your payment links, buttons, and iFrames. Create one once, then share its link anywhere — email, chat, social, a QR code — and your customer pays in crypto on a CryptoNow-hosted page. No code required. ## Create a checkout Go to **Payments → Checkouts** and click **Create Checkout**. CryptoNow Checkouts page with the Create Checkout button Pick one of the four payment types. This is the first decision and it shapes the rest of the form. Checkout type selector: Accept crypto, Sell a product, Sell currency, Cart * **Accept crypto** — customer chooses any amount (deposits, top-ups, donations). * **Sell a product** — fixed price in fiat (stores, digital goods, invoices). * **Sell currency** — customer sends one coin and receives another (in-widget exchange). * **Cart** — no stored amount; the total and fiat currency are passed in the link as parameters. The steps below use **Sell a product** as the worked example. Decide whether to capture the payer's details: nothing, full name, and/or email. Click **Next**. Customer information step with Don't collect / Full name / Email options Set the product name, description, post-payment **Website** (where the customer lands after paying), **Payment methods** (which coins you accept), **price + fiat currency**, and **Expire time** (how long a charge stays open — 10 / 30 / 60 min). Brand it with a checkout photo, logo, background and accent colour. Then click **Create**. Blank Sell a product checkout form Filled Sell a product checkout form with sample values **Accept crypto** uses this same form without the price field — the customer enters any amount at pay time. On success you get three ways to deliver the checkout — **Link**, **Embed** (button snippet), and **iFrame** — plus the **clickId** option. Copy the link and you're live. Share panel with Link, Embed, iFrame tabs and clickId checkbox This is what your customer sees when they open the link — your branding, the total, and the coins you accept: Customer-facing Send payment widget showing total and currency choices ## Track payments with clickId Enable **clickId** on the share panel and append your own id to the link (`?clickId=...`) — an order id, customer id, or any other reference (numbers and characters). It's attached to the transaction, **searchable**, echoed back in callbacks, and returned in the API as `outsideOrderId`. This is how you reconcile an on-chain payment to a specific order or user in your CRM. ## The other checkout types ### Sell currency The customer sends one coin and receives another. Set **Receive payment** (the coin you pay out), the **Merchant wallet** it pays from, **min / max** amounts, and **Fixed** or **Market** price. Sell currency checkout form with you-send/you-get, min/max, fixed/market The payer enters a "you send" amount, sees the live rate, and provides a recipient wallet for the coin they receive. If they send less than quoted they get proportionally fewer tokens (but never below `min`); if more, never above `max`. Customer-facing sell currency widget with You send / You get ### Cart A Cart checkout stores **no price** — just a fiat currency. The amount is passed in at pay time, which makes it the right choice for a shopping basket with dynamic totals. Cart checkout form showing fiat currency and no price field Its share panel adds an **amount and fiatCurrency** toggle — those two values travel as URL parameters on each charge, alongside the optional `clickId`.
