Checkout / Standard

Redirect to a ZevPay-hosted page.

ZevPay Standard is the redirect-style checkout. Build a payment URL with your API key + amount + email; send the customer there; they pay; we redirect back. No JS required on your side.

ZevPay Standard checkout - hosted page customers are redirected to

Pure server-side flow

Initialize a transaction on your backend, get back an authorization URL, redirect the customer. No JavaScript SDK to load, no modal to manage - works on any page that can issue an HTTP redirect.

Built for plain HTML & no-code

Perfect for static sites, WordPress installs without JS budget, sales pages built in tools that don't allow custom scripts. The integration is essentially: <form action="…">.

Returns to your callback

After payment, customer is sent back to your `callback_url` with the reference. Verify server-side with the standard verify endpoint or via webhook.

Same pricing as Inline

No premium for the hosted page. You pay the same per-payment rate whichever integration you use.

Common questions

About Standard.

Can I use my own domain for the checkout page?

Not yet. The hosted page is served from secure.zevpaycheckout.com, with your name, logo and colours.

How do I verify the payment server-side?

GET /v1/checkout/session/{your reference}/verify with your secret key, or fulfil from the charge.success webhook. Never trust the return to your callback_url on its own.
