Pelago Gateway Direct Mode

Pelago Gateway Direct Mode is designed for merchants who want to customize their own checkout interface and maintain full control over the payment method selection experience. This integration approach allows merchants to create a seamless, branded checkout flow while leveraging Pelago's comprehensive payment processing capabilities.

How Direct Mode Works

1. Payment Method Discovery

Merchants can retrieve a list of available payment methods from Pelago
This list can be rendered within the merchant's custom checkout interface
Payment methods are displayed according to the merchant's design preferences

2. Payment Method Selection

Customers select their preferred payment method directly on the merchant's checkout page
The payment method selection remains within the merchant's controlled environment
No redirection to external payment selection pages

3. Payment Request Processing

When a customer selects a payment method, the merchant sends a payment request to Pelago
The request includes:

Order information (amount, currency, order ID, etc.)
Selected payment method identifier
Customer details (if required)

4. Payment Method Validation & Interface Rendering

Pelago validates the availability and compatibility of the selected payment method
If the payment method is available and valid, Pelago renders the appropriate payment interface
The payment interface is returned to the customer for completion

5. Payment Completion & Notification

Once the payment is successfully processed, Pelago sends notifications to both:

The customer (payment confirmation)
The merchant (payment success webhook/notification)

Key Benefits

Custom Checkout Experience: Full control over the checkout interface design and user experience
Seamless Integration: Payment method selection stays within your application
Flexible Payment Options: Access to Pelago's full range of supported payment methods
Real-time Validation: Instant verification of payment method availability
Comprehensive Notifications: Automated success notifications for both parties

Integration Requirements
To implement Direct Mode, merchants need to:

Integrate the payment methods discovery API
Implement payment request submission
Handle payment interface rendering
Set up webhook endpoints for payment notifications

This mode is ideal for merchants who require maximum customization flexibility while maintaining a consistent brand experience throughout the entire checkout process.
