Self-hosted vs. hosted payment pages (HPP): which one do you need?
Considering Genome’s host-to-host integration for your website? Check the difference between hosted vs. self-hosted payment pages first, and what they mean for your checkout. With a self-hosted checkout (host-to-host integration), you keep the payment form and user flow on your own website. You will be sending transaction data securely via API for deeper control over branding, UX, and payment logic. Our hosted payment page is faster to launch because the checkout is served on our page. It reduces development effort on your side. The choice often comes down to control and flexibility versus speed and simplicity of setup.
Understanding PCI DSS compliance for merchants
When your company deploys a self-hosted payment page, your infrastructure directly participates in transmitting payment data, making PCI DSS compliance an operational requirement. PCI DSS compliance is not a government law, but it is a globally recognised security standard established by the major card networks to protect cardholder data during payment processing. In practice, PCI DSS compliance becomes mandatory because merchants cannot process card transactions without meeting these security obligations.

Do I need PCI DSS compliance?

Thanks to instant bank payments, more customers can complete the purchase on your e-commerce website.
Big iGaming websites
High volumes, strict compliance checks, and fast-paced player expectations demand a payment flow you can truly control. Once support for high-risk and iGaming merchants is introduced following our official card processing launch, Genome’s self-hosted payment pages will allow you to tailor verification steps, UX, and risk rules without disrupting the player experience. Keep reconciliation clean and operations scalable while accepting global deposits via Visa and Mastercard. To boost retention, leverage instant Open Banking payouts for faster withdrawals - all while maintaining full oversight, clear reporting, and maximum flexibility as your volume scales.

Once the service becomes available for subscription businesses, Genome’s self-hosted payment page will let you embed billing directly into your product so checkout feels like native infrastructure. Maintain total control over custom checkout UI, messaging, and authorization logic for plan changes, add-ons, and renewals. When you need to disburse funds to partners, creators, or users, activate instant payouts to keep your platform fast, modern, and retention-friendly.
Digital services and marketplaces
Digital services and marketplaces need payment flows that can support different users, regions, currencies, and business models. A self-hosted payment page gives your platform the flexibility to embed payments directly into the user journey. It allows you to process service fees, marketplace transactions, creator payments, or partner settlements. With Genome’s server-to-server payment integration, your team can create a unified custom checkout UI and connect different payment capabilities through an API-based checkout. Digital platforms can scale globally while keeping the payment experience consistent, branded, and easier to control.

Does a self-hosted payment page require coding?
Yes. Implementing a self-hosted checkout requires a developer-focused, technical setup to securely transmit transactional details between your system and Genome. To make this process as straightforward as possible for your team, we provide comprehensive developer documentation for server-to-server payment integration and clean code samples for API-based checkout and other API integrations, including: hosted payment page, web SDK integration, payout API, query on-demand API, SEPA payout API, Verification of Payee API, PSD2 API, and more.
Is customer data safe with a self-hosted checkout?
Yes. When utilizing a direct server-to-server payment integration, security is strictly maintained through advanced tokenization, end-to-end encryption, and rigid PCI DSS standards. Genome operates as a fully PSD2-regulated and PCI DSS-compliant institution, meaning we have all the tools in place to protect the data exchanged during payments and other operations.
What is the main difference between a hosted and a self-hosted payment page?
A hosted payment page redirects your customer to an external, secure link managed entirely by Genome to complete a transaction. A self-hosted payment page allows clients to enter their billing details directly on your website or application interface. It preserves a uniform brand identity while routing transaction parameters seamlessly over a direct server-to-server payment integration.
Can I use both a Hosted Payment Page (HPP) and an API-based checkout?
Yes, absolutely. Many businesses launch with a hosted payment page for rapid, low-code deployment to hit the market quickly. As their transaction volumes grow and their technical capabilities expand, they migrate to a self-hosted checkout to build an entirely unique consumer experience.
How does a self-hosted checkout affect a company's PCI compliance scope?
While building a custom checkout UI gives you complete ownership over your frontend layout, deploying it can also increase your PCI DSS compliance responsibilities if your business collects, processes, or transmits customers’ payment data directly. The exact compliance scope depends on the integration model and the type of payment data handled, so businesses should review the setup carefully before launch.
