Very briefly, the website of a virtual store must have only three types of page: the shop windows - usually separated by categories or shopping cart and the checkout page. The latter is the place where payments are made and it must be the simplest. A complicated page causes potential customers to give up on a last-minute purchase. A new type of checkout, called transparent checkout, seeks to simplify this process and prevent you from losing your sales at this crucial time. Learn what transparent checkout is in the following paragraphs.

What is transparent checkout?

This type of checkout differs from the default because it does not require the customer to finalize their purchase on an external site, such as PayPal or PagSeguro. Instead, it ends the payment part within the virtual store itself. Check out two examples below: a normal checkout and a transparent checkout:
