## Effort and capability comparison

Your choice depends on the balance you need between **speed to production** and the **level of payment-flow customization**.

| Integration method | Primary channel  | Time to production | Technical effort | Level of control | Key requirement      |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------ | ---------------- | ---------------- | -------------------- |
| **CMS plugins**    | E-commerce       | **Fast**           | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐            | Low              | Merchant credentials |
| **Web Checkout**   | Web (Flex/Modal) | **Very fast**      | ⭐⭐⭐⭐             | Medium           | Frontend script      |
| **Mobile SDK**     | Native apps      | **Moderate**       | ⭐⭐⭐              | High             | iOS/Android app      |

### Capability analysis

* **CMS plugins:** No programming is required. Setup is administrative, and the plugin handles security.
* **Web Checkout:** Offers an excellent effort-to-value balance. Sensitive data is processed in our secure environment, reducing your PCI compliance scope.
* **Mobile SDK:** Provides a smooth native experience, ideal for accepting payments without taking customers out of your app.

<Tip>
  If you need to validate your business model or go live within days, start with **Web Checkout** or **CMS plugins**. You can migrate to an **API** integration later without affecting your operation.
