# Checkout

When the user is ready to checkout, direct the user to the basket's  `links.checkout` URL. This is part of the BasketLinks object.

The user will enter their payment information on a secure Tebex-hosted website and complete the checkout.

If you'd like the user to stay on your site during checkout, use [Tebex.js](/developers/tebex.js/overview.md) alongside the Headless API.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For most stores, authorizing the user against the basket is required before checkout. 

You can do this by directing the user to the appropriate link provided by the **/baskets/auth** endpoint. See [Authorize a Basket](/developers/headless-api/guides/baskets/authorize-a-basket.md)
{% endhint %}
