# Best Practices

> Follow these best practices while integrating with Hosted Checkout:

## 1. Capture Payment Using Payment Capture Settings

You must capture the authorised payments for the settlement of the payments in your bank account. Use the [Payment Capture Setting](/payments/payment-gateway/web-integration/hosted/integration-steps#3-go-live-checklist/#payment-capture) to configure the capture settings at an account level via the Dashboard.

## 2. Integrate Orders API

Orders bind multiple payment attempts for a single order. This helps to prevent multiple payments. Integrate with Orders API on your server-side and pass the `order_id` to Checkout.

## 3. Verify Signature to Avoid Data Tampering

This mandatory step allows you to confirm the authenticity of the details returned to the Checkout form for successful payments. [Verify payment signature](/payments/payment-gateway/web-integration/hosted/integration-steps#1-build-integration/#14-verify-payment-signature).

## 4. Check Payment/Order Status before Providing Services

Check the payment/order status, that is, if the payment's status is `captured` and the order's status is `paid` before proving the services to the customers.

* [Fetch All Payments for an Order API](/api/orders/fetch-payments)

* [Fetch Status of a Payment using Payment ID API](/api/payments/fetch-with-id)

* [Fetch Status of an Order using Order ID API](/api/orders/fetch-with-id)

## 5. Implement Webhooks

Implement webhooks or the query API to avoid any cases of callback failure (drop-offs could be connectivity or network failure) and to verify the payment details via an S2S call. Know more about [Webhooks](/webhooks). You should enable the following webhooks:

* `payment.captured`
* `payment.failed`
* `order.paid`
