What are the problems that you face when you have a self hosted checkout page? 

A checkout page collects your customers' details such as account information, billing details etc and helps in completing the order by processing the payment.

• Security Compliance: You will have to adhere to the security standards set by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This is expensive, hard and diverts your attention from building your product.
• Time Consuming: Creating a checkout page by yourself can be time consuming and will require a lot of developer help. Imagine having to get a developer to intervene every time you need to alter something in your code, despite it being a minimal change.
• Limited Options for Payments: You will have to build custom integrations for every payment method and e-wallets such as Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal and so on to process the payment.
• Complicated cases regarding taxes, coupons, add-ons, and gift workflows have to be built from scratch and require extensive developer maintenance for you.
