Hosted Checkout (No-Code)

Hosted checkout allows you to launch a complete payment experience using a ready-to-use checkout page hosted by Zotlo. No SDK integration or frontend development is required. Simply create a checkout link, configure your product and payment settings, and share the link anywhere you want.

Hosted Checkout

Zotlo generates a unique hosted checkout URL for each checkout link. The checkout page automatically applies:

• Localized pricing

• Selected payment methods & custom ordering

• Multi-language UI

• Branding and theme settings

• Subscription or one-time product configuration

• Quantity selection (where applicable)

Creating Checkout Links

1. Go to Projects → Checkout Links in the Zotlo Dashboard.

2. Click Get Started to create your link.

3. Give your link a name (internal use only).

4. Configure your package, payment methods, language, and branding.

5. Save the link, it will first appear in Draft status.

Configurations

Package Settings

Learn more about payment methods.

User Identification

Choose whether the user should enter their email or phone number during checkout.

If your app already knows the user, you can pass a subscriberId in the checkout URL. When a valid identifier is provided, the user does not need to enter email/phone again inside the checkout form.

Example: [email protected] premium.example.com?subscriberId=12124567890

When a subscriberId is passed, you can control its behavior:

• Auto-hide Email/Phone: hide the field if the identifier is provided

• Allow Edit: allow the user to update the identifier

• UUID Support: you may pass a UUID, but email/phone will still be required for subscriptions

If you prefer you can pass a unique identifier (UUID) but remember if you are passing UUID as user identifier email/phone entry still be required for subscriptions.

Branding & Layout

Customize your hosted checkout:

• Theme selection

• Logo & header

• Colors, fonts, label visibility

• Price layout (subtotal, total, discount visualization)

• CTA button styles (except Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal — brand rules apply)

• Optional product imagery

• Quantity settings

• Business purchase (tax ID) fields

Custom Domain Settings

By default, your checkout link uses a Zotlo domain. You can switch to your own custom domain:

1. Open the checkout link → Change URL

2. Enable Use Custom Domain

3. Add a CNAME record pointing your subdomain to Zotlo

4. Wait for automatic verification

You can either use Zotlo domain or your own domain with hosted checkout links according to your preference.

Redirects After Payment

After a successful payment, you can:

• Show Zotlo’s hosted success page

• Redirect to your own web URL

• Redirect into your mobile app (deeplink)

• Display app download buttons (App Store / Google Play)

• Use Web-to-Web or Web-to-App flows

Zotlo automatically determines the correct redirection based on your configuration.

1. App-to-Web Theme

Used when the checkout link is opened from inside a mobile app. The app may open checkout in a browser or WebView.

• After payment, Zotlo redirects the user back to the app using a deeplink

• If opened in a WebView, the developer must close the WebView manually

App-to-web is ideal for apps that offload purchases to the web and need to return users smoothly to in-app content.

2. Web-to-App Theme

Used when the purchase starts on the web and should continue in your mobile app.

• Zotlo can show deeplink buttons or App Store / Google Play buttons

• Ideal for marketing funnels or onboarding flows

This option can also be used for web-to-web flows and redirect users to any landing page, dashboard, or custom success URL. No mobile app required.

Web-to-app is ideal for marketing funnels that start on the web but should continue inside the app or for standard web-based businesses without mobile app.

Publishing Checkout Link

Checkout links start in Draft or Test Mode. Click Publish to make them available for real users.

Zotlo performs an instant automated review. If everything is ready, your link goes live immediately. If not, you will see a short warning so you can fix and publish again.

Checkout Link Analytics

After publishing, a Statistics tab becomes available. You can track:

• Traffic

• Conversions

• Revenue

• Country, device, and package insights

These metrics help optimize your checkout experience and improve performance.
