In this guide, you'll learn about Medusa's accept payment flow that's used in checkout.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview of the Payment Flow in Checkout
|
||||
|
||||
The Medusa application has a built-in payment flow that allows you to accept payments from customers, typically during checkout.
|
||||
|
||||
This flow is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing you to integrate with various payment providers.
|
||||
|
||||
The payment flow consists of the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- [Create Payment Collection](!api!/store#payment-collections_postpaymentcollections): Create a payment collection associated with a cart.
|
||||
- This payment collection will hold all details related to the payment operations.
|
||||
- [Show Payment Providers](!api!/store#payment-providers_getpaymentproviders): Show the customer the available payment providers to choose from.
|
||||
- You can integrate any [payment provider](../payment-provider/page.mdx), and you can enable them per region.
|
||||
- [Create and Initialize Payment Session](!api!/store#payment-collections_postpaymentcollectionsidpaymentsessions): Create a payment session for the selected payment provider in the Medusa application, and initialize the session in the third-party payment provider.
|
||||
- [Complete Cart](!api!/store#carts_postcartsidcomplete): Once the customer places the order, complete the cart, which involves:
|
||||
- Authorizing the payment session with the third-party payment provider.
|
||||
- If the third-party payment provider requires performing additional actions, show them to the customer, then retry cart completion.

## Implement Payment Checkout Step in Storefront
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using the [Next.js Starter Storefront](../../../nextjs-starter/page.mdx), the checkout flow is already implemented with the payment step.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're building a custom storefront, or you want to customize the checkout flow, you can follow the [Checkout in Storefront](../../../storefront-development/checkout/page.mdx) guide to learn how to build the checkout flow in the storefront, including the payment step.

## Build a Custom Payment Flow
|
||||
|
||||
You can also build a custom payment flow using workflows or the Payment Module's main service.
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the [Accept Payment Flow](../payment-flow/page.mdx) guide to learn more.
