Accept Credit Card Payments Online & Offline
A payment gateway is a web service that enables the merchant to accept payments for goods and services online – in other words, pay real money for your (sometimes virtual) goods. Payment gateway products are offered by both banks and specialist providers. They work by authorising the credit card or direct payments processing for Ecommerce stores and traditional retailers. Some gateways even provide lay-by style services that allow the fulfilment of the purchase before funds have been received by the merchant or gateway.
There are several different types of payment gateways:
- Hosted payment gateways – purchaser is directed to an external payment page
- Integrated payment gateways – payment details are collected within the Ecommerce site
- API payment gateways – transaction happens in the background by communication with the providers system
- Payment Portals & Virtual terminals – merchant logins to the provider system to enter the purchasers details
- Physical terminals – provider supplies a device for the merchant to use to process transactions.
