What is a Payment Gateway?

An online Payment Gateway is the mechanism that sits between your consumer and you as the Merchant. The online Payment Gateway will authorise or decline a card payment – these include whether there are sufficient funds available, whether the details all matched correctly and if there has been any fraudulent activity. In order to check these details, the Payment Gateway will liaise with the Card Schemes and Issuing Banks within milliseconds and report back with its findings and a relevant transaction response.
