Custom Domain: Your Own URL in the Checkout Process

At the crucial moment of payment, customers are often redirected to an external environment — that of the payment service provider. It's secure, but it can be a hurdle. The security lock 🔒 and the https:// provide trust, but showing your webshop’s name in the URL adds extra comfort.

Not every online shopper knows Buckaroo is a payment service provider — especially international customers. That’s why Buckaroo now offers a new feature: custom domain. This allows your webshop to display its own trusted URL during checkout.

Familiar Payments Through Recognition

To provide a trustworthy payment experience, Buckaroo makes sure the merchant’s name and branding appear as much as possible during checkout. That’s why you can customise your checkout with logos, colours, visuals, tone of voice, language… and your own URL!

With Buckaroo’s smart checkout, you can fully style the payment flow. And every iDEAL payment clearly shows your business name.

Many larger merchants ask: “Can we keep our own URL in the checkout?” Yes, you can — with Buckaroo's custom domain.

What Is a Custom Domain?

Buckaroo’s custom domain feature lets you use your own checkout URL — a subdomain based on your own website. For example, if your website is fashionwebshop.nl, your checkout URL could become checkout.fashionwebshop.nl or pay.fashionwebshop.nl. It doesn’t have to be a .nl domain — .com, .be, .eu, .shop or any other TLD works just as well.

What Are the Benefits?

With a custom domain, you benefit from secure and encrypted transactions — all without compromising your branding. You can fully match the checkout page to your own style and keep using your domain name.

This feature is especially valuable for international webshops. While Buckaroo is well known in the Netherlands, foreign consumers may not recognize it as a PSP. Using your own domain lowers barriers for international customers entering payment details.
