A payment gateway is a technology platform that acts as an intermediary between a business and its customers to securely facilitate electronic transactions, including credit and debit card payments, both online and in physical stores.
• Core FunctionsIt encrypts and securely transmits customer payment information from the checkout page to the merchant's acquiring bank via the payment processor.
• Payment gateways authorize transactions by verifying the validity of payment details and checking available funds before approving or declining the transaction.
• They support both in-store POS terminals and online portals for e-commerce, collecting payment info through various interfaces, including cards, mobile wallets, and even QR codes.
↪️ How It Works:
• The customer initiates a payment online or in-person, providing card or payment credentials.
• The gateway encrypts and transmits the payment data to the payment processor and the merchant’s acquiring bank.
• The issuing bank (customer’s bank) verifies the transaction, applies fraud detection, and either approves or declines the payment.
• The approval or decline is transmitted back to the merchant, who completes the transaction accordingly.
