# High-Level Flow

This guide outlines the key stages of integrating Appcharge Checkout with an external store, providing flexibility while leveraging Appcharge’s infrastructure for payments and the merchant of record. If you are using the full Appcharge solution with both the Web Store and Checkout, please refer to the [Web Store High-Level Flow](../webstore/webstore-high-level-flow).

***

# Initial Setup Requirements

### 1. Set Up Price Localization

Decide how to handle price localization to provide players with region-specific pricing. Appcharge offers two main models for this, but we recommend using Price Points for flexibility and a consistent player experience.

* [Support Price Points Localization](/../../sdks/checkout/frontend-sdk/set-up-price-points)
* [Price Localization Models](./price-localization/choose-a-price-localization-model)
* [Price Points Dashboard Setup](./price-localization/set-up-price-points)

### 2. Enable Apple Pay

In order to support Apple Pay, enable it during the checkout flow for faster transactions.

* [Enabling Apple Pay guide](./add-apple-pay)

### 3. Set Up Checkout Language Localization (Optional)

Appcharge supports the localization of checkout screens, allowing publishers to provide a customized, language-specific experience for players based on their region.

* [Checkout Language Localization guide](/../../guides/translations/about-translations)

# Frontend Integration

Before initiating the runtime flow, integrate the necessary frontend components for managing the checkout process. Appcharge supports integration with various frontend frameworks, giving you flexibility in managing the checkout.

# Steps To Go Live

### 1. Pull Price Points

For external stores, retrieve the price points before starting the checkout process to ensure region-specific pricing is managed correctly.

* [Support Price Points Localization](/../../sdks/checkout/frontend-sdk/set-up-price-points)

### 2. Create a Checkout Session

The checkout process begins by creating a session via the Create a Checkout Session API. This session tracks the player’s activity throughout the transaction.

* [Create Checkout Session API](/../../api-reference/checkout/checkout-session/create-checkout-session)
* [Checkout Configuration guide](./configure-the-checkout)

### 3. Pull Orders via Grant Award Callback

The Grant Award Callback sends transaction details in real-time to the publisher, ensuring order confirmations are received.

* [Grant Award Callback](/../../api-reference/checkout/orders/player-order-reporting-webhook)
* [Player Order Reporting guide](./orders/about-player-order-reporting)
