North Embedded Checkout Overview

Check out the walkthrough video below to see how everything fits together. If you're ready to compare vendors for your integration, browse our comparison of North, Stripe, and PayPal's checkout solutions, and see the Embedded Checkout product page for details on how to get started.
What decision-makers should look for in an embedded checkout
Customer experience. Shoppers increasingly expect checkout to feel like part of your site. North Embedded Checkout keeps credit card and digital wallet payment flows in-page via North-hosted UI (for example a prebuilt form, individual fields, or Direct Post), so you can preserve branding and reduce abandonment caused by loss of trust from redirects.
Risk and compliance. Handling raw card data on your own servers drives PCI DSS scope and operational cost. North Embedded Checkout is built so sensitive card data stays out of your app; pairing that with tokenized follow-up operations (voids, refunds, and similar flows) supports a disciplined approach to security and back-office work. Always confirm scope with your assessor and your North contacts for your specific integration.
Speed and ownership. A session-first pattern reduces the long-term burden of juggling multiple vendor object models or manual order orchestration. That matters when your roadmap is already full and you need payments to stay a dependable component, not a second product line to operate.
