Currently, Subotiz supports two integration modes: Checkout and Payment.
Checkout mode
Checkout is Subotiz's end-to-end transaction solution designed for subscription-based businesses. Its core strength lies in integrating product management, subscription lifecycle management, multi-provider payment processing, and global operational capabilities. Ideal for scenarios requiring complete transaction closure (e.g., AI tools, SaaS platforms, Web3 applications).
Core Capabilities Include:
-
Product & Subscription Management: Create products, configure flexible pricing (free trials, tiered pricing, coupons), and manage subscription cycles (monthly/annual) with mid-cycle adjustments.
-
Smart Checkout Experience: Customizable checkout flows (standard/express/two-step), mobile-optimized layouts, and built-in global tax compliance.
-
Multi-Payment Methods: Credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc., with intelligent routing to boost success rates.
-
Globalization: Auto-switching for 18+ languages (CN/EN/JP/ES) and multi-currency support.
Integration Methods:
-
Hosted Page: Subotiz provides a hosted checkout page. Merchants create a Checkout Session via API and then redirect customers to this hosted page to complete payment, eliminating frontend development efforts.
-
Embedded Form: Embed the checkout functionality directly into your own web pages using our SDKs. Supports interface customization (styles, components, flow) via a no-code editor, ensuring full brand consistency.
| Dimension | Hosted Page | Embedded Form |
|---|---|---|
| Technical | Low (API+Webhook only; no fronted development) | Medium (SDK integration; no-code editor available) |
| Customization | Medium ( logo/colors; fixed flow) | High (Full UI styling, component layout, interaction flow) |
| Brand identity | Medium | High（Fully embedded in merchant pages） |
| Development | 1-3 days (API focus) | 3-7 days ( UI customization + testing) |
| Cases | SMBs need a rapid launch | Brands requiring deep customization with front-end resources |
Payment mode
Payment is Subotiz's lightweight solution focused strictly on payment processing. Core capabilities cover collections, refunds, reconciliations, and seamless tokenized renewals (no repeated payment info collection). Excludes product/subscription management. Ideal for merchants with existing systems (e.g., ERP/CRM) needing only payment processing.
Core Advantages:
-
Multi-Channel Support: Shared payment network with Checkout (cards, Google/Apple Pay).
-
Seamless Embedding: Fully custom UI with no Subotiz branding.
Integration Methods:
| Dimension | Embedded Form (Payment mode) |
|---|---|
| Technical | Medium (SDK integration + renewal logic) |
| Customization | High（Fully merchant-designed UI; zero Subotiz branding） |
| Key Advantage | Tokenized renewals + multiple payment providers |
| Development | 3-5 days (SDK + logic adaptation) |
| Cases | Enterprises with existing subscription systems |
Comparison
| Dimension | Checkout | Payment |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Full cycle ( Products + Subscriptions + Payments) | Payments only (Incl. renewals) |
| Value | Simplify conversion optimization to boost subscription conversion rate | Integrate with the existing system. More focus on payment efficiency and renewal stability |
| Subscription | Built-in (Plans, modifications, auto-renewals) | None (Self-managed) |
| Customization | No-code checkout editor: Supports customizing checkout flow and UI style | For the payment interface only |
| Global support | Multi-language/currency/tax compliance | Multi-language/currency/tax compliance |
| Integration | Hosted + Embedded | Embedded only |
