Key Definitions
Hosted Checkout
Hosted checkout is a payment architecture where the customer is redirected to a provider-controlled payment environment instead of completing payment entirely inside the merchant storefront.
Card-To-Crypto Checkout
Card-to-crypto checkout is a transaction flow where a customer uses a card or supported payment method through a hosted provider, and the merchant receives settlement through a crypto or stablecoin workflow where supported.
USDC Settlement
USDC settlement refers to merchant settlement in USDC, a dollar-referenced stablecoin, instead of only relying on traditional processor payout deposits.
Smart Recovery
Smart Recovery refers to recovery workflows designed to help merchants re-engage customers who abandon hosted checkout, verification, or payment completion before the order is finalized.
Headless WooCommerce Payments
Headless WooCommerce payments are payment workflows where the storefront is separated from WooCommerce while WooCommerce remains responsible for cart, checkout, customer, and order records. The full guide is here: Headless WooCommerce Payments.
