# Use a hosted payment page

[Choose an integration method](https://devportal-simpay-sbx.winkpg.io/docs/decide/integration-method.md): Three questions about where your customers enter their card details, and what that means for the PCI evidence you have to produce every year.

Your checkout hands off to a payment page this platform serves, and we hand the result back to you.

**Your answers so far**

- Where does the payment happen? Online, or over the phone.
- Who renders the fields your customer types the card into? A payment page this platform hosts.
- Will you charge the same customer again when they are not there? No. Each payment starts with the customer at the checkout.

**What to build**

Create a hosted payment page session from your server, send the customer to the link it returns, and confirm the result from the webhook rather than from the browser redirect. This is the smallest amount of code of the three online methods and the smallest annual evidence burden.

**What this means for PCI**

Typically eligible for **SAQ A**. The card fields are served and submitted by a page this platform hosts, so no system of yours transmits, processes, or stores the card number.

This is guidance rather than a compliance determination. Which questionnaire you are eligible for depends on your full environment, so confirm it with your QSA or your acquirer before you rely on it.

**Worth knowing**

- You style the page with your own branding, but the layout is ours rather than yours.
- Confirm the payment from the webhook. A customer who closes the tab after paying never reaches your redirect.
