# Accepting Payments on Your Site

> Add checkout to a hosted site with Sontairo Finance

Sites on Sontairo Hosting can take payments through [Sontairo Finance](/finance/overview) — no Stripe account setup, no API keys in your site code.

## Before you start

1. Set up [Sontairo Finance](/finance/overview) for your workspace and complete onboarding. Payments can only be collected once your Finance account shows **Charges enabled**.
2. Make sure your site is published on [Hosting](/hosting/overview).

## Enable payments on a site

1. Open your site and go to the **Payment** tab
2. Set the provider to **Sontairo Finance** (the tab shows your Finance connection state and links to the Finance page if onboarding isn't finished)
3. Configure what you're selling:

| Setting                   | Description                             |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Product name**          | What the buyer sees at checkout         |
| **Amount**                | The price, stored in your site settings |
| **Currency**              | Defaults to USD                         |
| **Success / cancel URLs** | Where buyers land after checkout        |

## How checkout works

When a visitor starts a purchase, your site asks Sontairo to create a checkout session and the buyer completes payment on a secure Stripe-hosted checkout page.

**Prices are resolved server-side.** The amount, currency, and product come from the payment settings you saved — code running in the visitor's browser cannot change the price. This means a tampered request can't buy your product for a cent.

Payments land in your workspace's Finance account (you are the merchant of record) with the standard **2% platform fee**. See [Sontairo Finance](/finance/overview) for fees and payouts.

## Tracking revenue

* The site's [Site health](/hosting/ai-monitor) card shows a **Revenue** tile with the total collected on that site
* Every payment appears in the Finance page's **Recent payments** list, tagged with the site it came from
* A payment can also trigger [Helm automations](/helm/automations) via the **When a payment is received** trigger
