Checkouts

https://www.blockonomics.co/dashboard#/link?ordersCheckouts provide a dynamic way to collect charges from customers and add custom data to your products. To make a decision on whether your application needs to use the native Receive Payments API or Checkouts, feel free to see the below table

During checkout, merchant creates temporary products via API which are shown via payment button/widget. Let's see how to use checkouts in few easy steps.

Step1 - Create Parent Product

The parent product must be created via Products tab in Buttons and Links. The parent product specifies the default value of all attributes. Note the widget uid in the screenshot below:

Step 2 - Create temp product

Temp product can be created by calling the Create temporary product endpoint. The widget uid shown in Step 1 must be specified in the parent uid field.

Few points about temp products:

• Temp product inherits all fields from its parent product.
• Temp products are automatically deleted after 7 days.

Step 3 - Show Checkout

Checkout UI can be shown using either payment button/widget. Both use the uid of the temp product returned from Step 2.
