# Stripe Checkout

Build a low-code payment form and embed it on your site or host it on Stripe.

[Checkout](https://stripe.com/payments/checkout) is a low-code, prebuilt payment form that can be hosted by Stripe or embedded into your website. Checkout uses the [Checkout Sessions API](https://stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions). You can use the API with [Stripe Elements](https://stripe.com/payments/elements) to build a more customized checkout experience.

## Get started
