Overview
The Checkout page with the checkout flow is highly flexible and can manage a wide range of payment methods. It's important to optimize your customers' payment flow to minimize the input needed to complete a purchase.
Therefore, Checkout provides the option to save both consumer data and payment information for your customer. Checkout uses cookies or consumer data (email and postal code) when searching for previously stored information about a customer.
Checkout URL expiration A payment session URL is valid for 48 hours. If a consumer tries to complete a payment after 48 hours they will get an error message stating that the payment session is no longer valid. The consumer must make a new payment.

The two main sections of the checkout page are:
- Consumer data section, which includes email, postal code, name, address, etc. This section is optional on the checkout page. The API enables you to hide this section if you don't want to collect consumer data on the checkout page.
- Payment details section, which includes credit card number, invoice data, etc. Checkout is always responsible for collecting this information. Checkout offers your customers the ability to save the information to make future purchases easy.
