Creytix Checkout
Session, payment intent, identity verification, and fraud review.
Note
Creytix Checkout is part of Creytix Connect — the registry of self-hosted tools that replace the SaaS your marketing stack usually rents.
Overview
Creytix Checkout handles the full path from cart to confirmed payment — session, payment intent, identity verification, and fraud review — as one flow instead of stitching together a payments provider and a separate identity-verification vendor. When a purchase needs extra assurance, Checkout can step the buyer through an identity check, including a face-scan liveness step, before the payment clears.

How it works
A purchase moves through four stages:
- Session — a checkout session is created for the cart or purchase.
- Payment intent — the payment is authorized against your connected payment provider.
- Identity verification — for purchases that need it, the buyer completes an identity check, including document upload and a liveness scan.
- Fraud review — flagged transactions land in a review queue for your team, backed by a blocklist for repeat bad actors.
Steps
- •
Open Checkout in the Control Panel
From the Creytix Control Panel, open Checkout under Connect to see sessions, payments, and the fraud review queue.
- •
Create a checkout session
A session starts when a buyer begins checkout on your site, carrying the cart or purchase details.
- •
Authorize the payment
The payment intent is created and authorized against your connected payment provider.
- •
Verify identity when required
For purchases that trigger a verification rule, the buyer completes identity verification — document upload plus a liveness scan.
- •
Review flagged transactions
Your team works flagged transactions from the fraud review queue, with a blocklist to manage repeat offenders.

Limits & honest scope
Creytix Checkout is built for teams running payments as part of a site they already manage in Creytix — not as a standalone payments processor you can plug into any stack.
- It routes through your own connected payment provider — Checkout is not itself a payment processor or a source of merchant-of-record status.
- Identity verification rules and fraud-scoring logic are still growing in sophistication. Check the tier badge and the changelog for what's live today.
- Coverage of every regional payment method and identity-document type is not complete on day one.
We would rather tell you what Checkout's fraud review doesn't catch yet than have you assume full parity with a dedicated fraud-ops platform.
