# Choose Your Integration

> Choose between No-Code and API integration based on how your business collects payments.

PayGlocal supports three ways to accept payments. The right one depends on how you want to collect money — and, if it's on your own site, who handles the card details.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="No-Code" icon="sparkles" color="#10B981" href="/no-code/overview">
    **Collect without writing code.** Create Payment Links, Invoice Links, and Payment Buttons from the GCC dashboard. PayGlocal hosts the checkout.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Checkout Flow (PayCollect)" icon="window" color="#1A6FE8" href="/merchant/paycollect/overview">
    **API — PayGlocal-hosted checkout.** Your backend sends a request; PayGlocal collects the card details on a secure hosted page. No PCI DSS certification needed.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Seamless Flow (PayDirect)" icon="code" color="#8B5CF6" href="/merchant/paydirect/overview">
    **API — your own checkout.** You collect card details in your own UI and send them to PayGlocal. Requires PCI DSS certification.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  **Checkout Flow (PayCollect)** and **Seamless Flow (PayDirect)** are the two modes of API integration. See the [API Integration overview](/integration/api-overview) to compare them in detail.

## Still Deciding?

Follow the path that matches how you want to accept payments:

```mermaid theme={null}
graph TD
    A[How do you want to accept payments?] --> B[From the GCC dashboard only]
    A --> C[From your own website or app]
    B --> D[No-Code Integration<br/>Payment Link / Invoice / Button]
    C --> E{PCI DSS certified?}
    E -->|No| F[Checkout Flow PayCollect<br/>PayGlocal hosts the payment page]
    E -->|Yes| G[Seamless Flow PayDirect<br/>You collect card data on your own page]
```

<Note>
  No-Code and API integration aren't mutually exclusive. Many merchants use Payment Links for quick ad-hoc collections while their checkout runs on Checkout Flow (PayCollect) or Seamless Flow (PayDirect).
