PSD2 and SCA compliant To be Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) compliant, Checkfront is prepared to handle any transactions that the Payment Provider deems applicable via the PXPay (Redirect Method) only. The PXPost (Integrated) method is no longer supported by Checkfront in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA), or the UK. These measures help reduce fraud and make online payments more secure! Learn more about PSD2 and SCA here... |

If you don't yet have a Windcave account, you can apply for one here.
Once you have an account set up and ready, continue reading the document below.
Enter Your Credentials
When you sign up for an account with Windcave, you are supplied with a set of credentials that are required to connect your Checkfront account with the Windcave API - a PxPay User ID and a PxPay Key. Enter both of these in the fields provided and click on the blue Activate button.
With the setup described above, Customers are redirected to a Windcave payment page when paying for their booking.
Integrated Billing
Back to top
To use Checkfront's built-in payment form, you must activate the PxPost API through Windcave. Contact their support team if you're unsure where to obtain these credentials.
Once done, check the box labelled Use Px Post API (Integrated Billing) in the activation window.
A different set of API credentials are required to use this feature. Replace the PxPay User ID and PxPay Key with your PxPost Username and Password in the activation window, as seen above.
Authorize Only
Back to top
If you wish to use your system as an Authorize Only platform, you need to check the box provided in the activation window. This verifies the card details and authorizes the transaction, allowing you to process the payment when the Customer arrives at your location.
