The Tonder SDK is built to be flexible, secure, and easy to integrate. Whether you’re launching payments for the first time or want a tailored checkout experience, the SDK lets you control how your users interact with payments — without sacrificing security or speed.
This article explains what aspects of the Tonder SDK you can customize, why those options matter, and how they help create a smoother, on-brand experience.
Why Customization Matters
Out-of-the-box checkout flows are fast to launch, but every business is unique.
Customizing your payment experience helps you:
Match your brand identity — colors, fonts, layout
Reduce friction — optimized fields and flows based on user context
Increase conversions — look and feel aligned with your product
Stay compliant and secure — without compromising control over the experience
The Tonder SDK strikes a balance between security (trusted payment flows) and flexibility (what your users see and feel).
What You Can Customize
1. Visual Appearance
You can style the checkout so it feels like a natural part of your app or site:
Brand colors and accents
Match the SDK to your corporate palette.Typography and text styles
Choose fonts and sizes consistent with your interface.Button styles and labels
Customize how actions look and what they say.
Result: Users feel at home — the payment flow looks like your product, not an external popup.
2. Layout and Flow
Not all products work the same way, and neither should payment screens.
You control:
Placement of fields
Order of steps in your flow
Which elements are shown or hidden
This means you can tailor the experience to your audience — for example:
Remove unnecessary fields for returning users
Highlight specific payment methods
Result: Faster checkout with fewer distractions.
3. Messaging and Labels
Every business uses its own language.
With the SDK, you can customize:
Field labels (e.g., “Card Number” vs “Payment Details”)
Action text (“Pay Now”, “Submit”, “Confirm”)
Error and validation messages
This lets you maintain a consistent voice throughout the user journey.
4. Supported Payment Features
The Tonder SDK supports modern payment capabilities — and you decide which ones to enable:
Stored cards / one-click checkout (if allowed)
3D Secure flows
Alternative payment methods (e.g., wallets, SPEI)
Installments or split payments (when supported)
Result: You tailor payment methods to your users and region.
What You Don’t Have to Worry About
One of the biggest advantages of using the Tonder SDK is that security, compliance, and backend complexity are handled for you. You don’t need to manage:
PCI compliance
Sensitive input handling (card numbers, CVV)
Tokenization and secure storage
Fraud and risk enforcement rules
These aspects are built into the SDK, letting your team focus on product experiences instead of infrastructure.
How Customization Works (High Level)
Customization in the Tonder SDK works through:
Configuration settings
— Define styles, colors, and feature flagsUI parameters
— Tailor what users see
Depending on the environment (web, mobile, hosted checkout), the SDK exposes options that let you make these choices before rendering the payment interface.
Start Simple — Scale Up
Even if you start with default styles, you can:
Launch quickly
Collect user feedback
Gradually tailor the experience
Optimize for higher conversions
This flexibility lets teams innovate without bottlenecks.
