Card Payments

You can accept card payments in three ways: using the API (tokenize on your backend), using Elements (tokenize in the browser with embeddable fields), or using Ozura Checkout (hosted payment page). The journey is the same as for bank payments. Elements and Checkout both reduce your PCI scope: card data is either tokenized in the browser (Elements) or never touches your server (Checkout). To use Ozura’s Checkout page you must be a merchant with an Ozura merchant relationship.
