About Maya Checkout

Overview

Maya Checkout is an online payment solution that allows you to securely accept online payments through a Maya-hosted checkout page.

Instead of handling sensitive data yourself, you redirect your customers to Maya Checkout. There, they can choose from multiple payment methods (cards, QRPh, Maya Wallet, and others), depending on your merchant setup.

This page provides a technical overview of Maya Checkout, including architecture context, supported environments, and integration methods, so you know what to expect before you start coding.

Maya provides two environments for Maya Checkout: Sandbox and Production

UTC Timezone

Maya Checkout, both Sandbox and Production, use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, offset 0). This is to ensure consistency across merchants operating in different time zones.

Sandbox Maya Checkout

• Safe test environment that simulates Maya Checkout.
• Use Cases: Integration testing, QA, dev builds

Production Maya Checkout

• Live environment where real charges occur
• Use Cases: Launch, live customers, revenue
