Z-Checkout is a Zuora-hosted page (deployed as iframes) that allows merchants to integrate subscription commerce onto their websites in a fast, secure and PCI compliant manner, with minimal coding required.

Z-Checkout Features

In the initial version of Z-Checkout, we provide merchants with Subscribe checkout pages that are:

  • Fast to create. Directly from your tenant, you can quickly create a separate checkout page (an iframe) that can be embedded onto any web page to take new subscriptions for any of your Zuora rate plans with any type of charge model.
  • Secure and PCI compliant. Each Subscribe checkout page will enable new customers to subscribe to its rate plan and accept customers’ credit card information in a secure, PCI compliant manner.
  • Embeddable. You can use the URL for your each checkout page to embed that iframe within any web page of your choosing, so you can start taking new customer orders online.
  • Customizable. You will be able to adjust colors, fonts, and other basic styling to match your brand.

 

Here is a screenshot of how a Z-Checkout Page can look like:

Z-Checkout Scope

Currently, Z-Checkout is designed to accelerate the path to commerce for merchants with simpler subscription business models.  Therefore, it currently is limited to the following:

  • subscribing customers to a single product rate plan
  • creating subscriptions for new customers (as opposed to adding subscriptions for your existing customers)
  • merchants that are not utilizing Zuora's Z-Tax functionality
  • creating evergreen subscriptions (as opposed to subscriptions with terms).

Zuora will consider adding more complex configuration capabilities to Z-Checkout in the future.  In the meantime, if your business has more complex commerce use cases or customization requirements, then you should utilize Zuora's flexible APIs as an alternative.
