PingPong Checkout: Overview For Merchants

PingPong Checkout is the online payments solution from PingPong that lets merchants accept cards and alternative payment methods across global markets through a single integration. PingPong focuses on cross-border acceptance, tokenization for saved cards, recurring billing, and built-in risk tooling. Merchants can integrate via hosted checkout, embedded SDK, or direct server-to-server APIs and extend to in-person payments with a terminal API. PingPong supports settlement cycles set by contract and provides SFTP reporting for reconciliation.

Key Capabilities

Card On File And Tokenization

• Create tokens at checkout to support stored credentials and faster repeat purchases.

• Use card-on-file flows to bind cards during an authorization or via verification.

• Maintain token-to-customer mappings and pay later with the token through APIs.

Subscriptions And Recurring Billing

• First transaction captures authorization and creates the mandate token.

• Subsequent charges are initiated server-to-server on the agreed schedule.

• Recurring parameters include start date, interval unit and count, and end date.

Order Lifecycle Controls

• Capture: Automatic capture by default; manual capture is available through a dedicated API.

• Void: Cancel uncaptured authorizations when needed.

• Refund: Full and multiple partial refunds are supported, with idempotency controls.

Payment Links

• Generate a hosted payment link from the merchant portal to collect one-off payments without doing a site integration. Availability is by enablement.

Disputes API

• Programmatically fetch retrieval and chargeback details, upload evidence, and submit representments. Events and statuses are delivered by webhook to automate handling.

Reconciliation And Reporting

• Settlement cycles can be configured as T+N, weekly, or on a specific month day.

• Finance teams can pull settlement and transaction statements from an SFTP endpoint. File paths and statement formats are documented.

Sandbox And Test Resources

• A sandbox environment exists with sample accounts and method coverage for integration testing.

Risk, Authentication, And Security

Dynamic 3D Secure

• PingPong’s risk engine decides when to invoke 3DS based on cardholder behavior and rules.

• You can override with merchant-level parameters to force, delegate, or skip per contracted profile.

Client-Side Risk Components

• SecureShieldJs and related components add device signals and browser data to improve fraud screening for card transactions.

PCI Considerations

• Hosted checkout or plugin: card data stays in PingPong’s environment, reducing your PCI exposure.

• Embedded SDK: renders payment elements while isolating sensitive data.

• Server-to-server: gives you maximum UI control but requires full PCI DSS compliance for card data handling. PingPong documents the requirements and verification steps.

Integration Options And Plugins

You can choose among:

• Hosted Redirect Checkout: fastest route to go live with minimal engineering.

• Embedded JavaScript SDK: show a unified payment list in your page with limited front-end work.

• Server-to-Server APIs: full control over the checkout UI and flows.

• Plugins for open-source platforms: Magento 2, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and Zen Cart, with version guidance.

PingPong also references SaaS platform integrations for Shopify, Shopline, and Shoplus in its documentation.

Settlement, Funding, And Reconciliation

• Settlement cycles are contract-based and can be configured as T+N, weekly, or monthly with matching statement cadence.

• SFTP reporting provides compressed files for daily or periodic retrieval.

• Time zone for statement generation is UTC+0 in the docs.

Coverage And Cross-Border Scope

• Documentation sections outline country coverage across APAC, Europe, and the Americas.

• PingPong’s global site lists acceptance of 170+ payment methods and 50+ checkout currencies, with local account and payout capabilities in additional markets.

Note that availability varies by vertical and region; enablement is subject to contracting and underwriting.
