Checkout Experience

What your customers see at each step of the payment flow.

Two Display Modes

SatsRail checkout pages adapt their layout based on your merchant's checkout mode setting. Each mode is designed for its context:

Opens in an overlay on the merchant's page

Compact, space-efficient layout. No popup blockers. Works on desktop and mobile.

Opens in a full browser tab

Two-column layout with product info on the left and payment details on the right.

Set the checkout mode in your Merchant Settings or override it per embed button with the data-mode attribute.

Compact checkout embedded in an overlay iframe on the merchant's page.

Collects email, name, phone, or address based on merchant settings.

Lightning for instant settlement.

Scan the QR code with any Lightning or Bitcoin wallet. Real-time status via WebSocket.

Payment received. Customer is auto-redirected to your success URL.

Spacious two-column layout for the full browser experience.

Amount displayed on the left, form fields on the right.

Price on the left, payment method options on the right.

Amount and invoice details on the left, large QR code on the right.

Wider confirmation card with order details and email receipt notice.

Not every checkout has all four steps. The flow adapts automatically:

Step	When It Appears	When It's Skipped
1. Customer Info	Merchant has customer fields configured (email, name, phone, address)	No customer fields configured, or info pre-filled via API
2. Payment Method	Lightning payment method is enabled	Only one payment method enabled, or pre-selected via API
3. QR Code	Always	Never skipped
4. Confirmation	Always	Never skipped
