Checkout charge-items and one-time charges

Idempotency Supported

Create a Chargebee hosted page to accept payment details from a customer and checkout charge-items and one-time charges.

The following steps describe how best to use this API:

Call this endpoint, providing item prices, charges, coupons and a host of other details such as billing and shipping addresses of the customer, to be prefilled on the checkout page. You may also provide pass_thru_content containing information and IDs from your systems that must be associated with the checkout page.
Send the customer to the Checkout url received in the response.
Once they complete checkout, the set of charge-items and one-time charges are automatically invoiced against the respective customer record in Chargebee, and they are redirected to the redirect_url with the id and state attributes passed as query string parameters.
Retrieve the hosted page at this stage to get the invoice details.

Customer resource lookup and creation

When customer[id] is provided for this operation, it is looked up by Chargebee, and if found, the hosted_page is created for it. If not found, a new customer resource is created with an autogenarated ID, and the hosted_page is created.

Multiple business entities

If multiple business entities are created for the site, the customer resource lookup and creation happen within the context of the business entity specified in this API call. If no business entity is specified, the customer resource lookup is performed within the site context , and if not found, the resource is created for the default business entity of the site.

Sample Request

brand_id

optional, string, max chars=50

The unique ID of the brand this hosted page should be linked to. Applicable only when multiple brands have been created for the site. Resources created through the hosted page, such as the customer and the subscription, are linked to the same brand. An alternative way of passing this parameter is by means of the chargebee-brand-id custom HTTP header; when both are provided, they must specify the same brand.

Default behavior

When not provided, the brand of the customer or subscription referenced in the request is used, or the default brand defined for the site when the request references neither.

Specifies the UI layout for the hosted page. This overrides the layout configured in Chargebee Billing.

currency_code

required if Multicurrency is enabled, string, max chars=3

redirect_url

optional, string, max chars=250

The customers will be redirected to this URL upon successful checkout. The hosted page id and state will be passed as parameters to this URL.

Note :

Although the customer will be redirected to the redirect_url after successful checkout, we do not recommend relying on it for completing critical post-checkout actions. This is because redirection may not happen due to unforeseen reasons such as user closing the tab, or exiting the browser, and so on. If there is any synchronization that you are doing after the redirection, you will have to have a backup. Chargebee recommends listening to appropriate webhooks such as subscription_created or invoice_generated to verify a successful checkout.
Redirect URL configured in Settings > Hosted Pages Settings would be overriden by this redirect URL.
Eg : http://yoursite.com?id=**&state=succeeded
This parameter is not applicable for iframe messaging.

cancel_url

optional, string, max chars=250

The customers will be redirected to this URL upon canceling checkout. The hosted page id and state will be passed as parameters to this URL.

Note : - Cancel URL configured in Settings > Hosted Pages Settings would be overriden by this cancel URL.
Eg : http://yoursite.com?id=&state=cancelled

This parameter is not applicable for iframe messaging and in-app checkout.

pass_thru_content

optional, string, max chars=2048

This attribute allows you to store custom information with the hosted_page object. You can use it to associate specific data with a hosted page session. For example, you can store the ID of the marketing campaign that initiated the user session. After a successful checkout, when the customer is redirected, you can retrieve the hosted page ID from the redirect URL's query parameters. Using this ID, you can fetch the hosted page and perform actions related to the success of the marketing campaign.
