Why Checkout.com for ticketing
Checkout.com is a global payments platform built for businesses that want strong acceptance rates and granular control over how payments are processed. For organizers selling to international audiences, it combines direct card acquiring with a wide set of local payment methods on a single connection.
Designed for higher acceptance
Checkout.com connects directly to the card networks and uses data-driven optimization to help more genuine payments go through. Higher authorization rates mean fewer failed purchases at the moment a buyer is ready to commit to a ticket.
Cards, wallets and local methods
- Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards
- Apple Pay and Google Pay for fast mobile checkout
- Local and alternative payment methods across many markets
- Multi-currency processing for international audiences
Global reach with one account
Checkout.com onboards merchants across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region. A single account can process payments from buyers in many countries, which suits tours, online events and conferences with an international audience.
