What is a payment gateway?
A payment gateway links your web site to the credit card processing companies and your merchant account. When your customer enters his or her credit card number on your web site, the payment gateway obtains authorization for the charge and later handles the transfer of funds into your merchant account. Our Merchant Services accounts work with the industry’s most widely used and reliable gateways including USAePay and Authorize.Net.
A payment gateway is the bridge between your e-commerce website and your bank’s credit card processor. A payment gateway authorizes payments for all types of merchants. It is similar to a physical POS terminal used by most retail merchants. Payment gateways encrypt sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure that information passes securely between the customer and the merchant.
