## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Checkout Detector

Detects if a website has an active, accessible checkout or payment capability. It accurately identifies e-commerce platforms, SaaS signup walls, and extracts specific payment providers.

This Actor is designed to be highly reliable, using a 6-step detection cascade (including smart routing and platform-specific API probes) to minimize false positives and hallucinations.

---

### 🚀 Features

- **Checkout Page Discovery (Smart Routing)**: 🚀 **MASSIVE ADVANTAGE**: You don't need to know the exact checkout URL. **Your users don't have the time to manually hunt for the checkout links of every single website.** Just provide the company's root domain (e.g. `example.com`), and our crawler will intelligently navigate the site, locate the checkout flow (whether it's `/cart`, hidden in an iframe, or a third-party modal), and extract the required data. Perfect for enriching thousands of rows in Clay where you only have domains!
- **High Accuracy (6-Step Cascade)**: Transitions from passive HTML/DOM scanning to JS global checking, network interception, and active API/CTA probing.
- **Payment Provider Extraction**: Identifies specific gateways and methods (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, etc.).
- **Platform Detection**: Recognizes major platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, etc.
- **Third-Party Checkout Support**: Detects external checkout links like Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, FastSpring, Stripe Checkout, etc.
- **SaaS "Sign Up" Awareness**: Understands when a checkout is hidden behind a SaaS login wall (`checkout_accessible: false`).

### 📥 Input Schema

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | String | **Required** | The URL or domain to analyze (e.g., `https://example.com`) |
| `maxPages` | Integer | `5` | Maximum number of pages to crawl |
| `timeoutSeconds` | Integer | `30` | Maximum execution time per page in seconds |

**Example Input:**
```json
{
  "url": "https://zuvees.ae",
  "maxPages": 3,
  "timeoutSeconds": 30
}
````

***

### 📤 Output Schema

The Actor pushes a single JSON object to the Apify Dataset per run.

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `domain` | String | The root domain of the analyzed website |
| `has_checkout` | Boolean | `true` if an active checkout or payment intent was detected |
| `checkout_type` | String | Categorization of the checkout (`ecommerce`, `saas`, `third_party`, `donation`, `unknown`) |
| `checkout_accessible` | Boolean | `true` if the checkout can be reached without a signup/login wall (SaaS checkouts are usually `false`) |
| `detection_method` | String | The strongest signal used to confirm the checkout (e.g., `shopify_probe`, `js_global`, `cta_probe`) |
| `payment_providers` | Array | List of detected payment gateways and methods (e.g., `["Stripe", "Apple Pay"]`) |
| `ecommerce_platform` | String | Detected platform (e.g., `Shopify`, `WooCommerce`), or null |
| `confidence` | Number | Confidence score from 0.0 to 1.0 based on accumulated evidence |
| `scraping_status` | Object | Metadata regarding execution time, errors, and bot blocks |

**Example Output (Shopify Store):**

```json
{
  "domain": "zuvees.ae",
  "has_checkout": true,
  "checkout_type": "ecommerce",
  "checkout_accessible": true,
  "detection_method": "shopify_probe",
  "payment_providers": [
    "Apple Pay",
    "Google Pay",
    "Visa",
    "Mastercard"
  ],
  "ecommerce_platform": "Shopify",
  "confidence": 0.99,
  "evidence_score": 58,
  "scraping_status": {
    "phase_completed": "browser_scan",
    "blocked": false,
    "pages_visited": 1,
    "time_elapsed_ms": 8450
  }
}
```

### 💡 Use Cases (Clay / CRM enrichment)

Map the output directly to your Clay tables:

- Filter prospects: Only target sites where `has_checkout` is `true` and `checkout_accessible` is `true`.
- Personalize outreach: Reference their specific `ecommerce_platform` or suggest alternative `payment_providers`.
- Combine with the **Pricing Detector Actor** to get a complete 360° view of a company's monetization strategy.
