How Does a Secure Payment Gateway Function?
Sometimes, people have a little awareness about payment gateways and they do not fully understand why they need a gateway and how it functions on their eCommerce store.
Technically, a payment gateway is nothing more than an application through which an eCommerce store receives payment from customers in a secure manner. The process starts just after the user clicks on the payment or order button.
- The first step in this process is to verify the billing information of a customer.
- The next step is to verify funds for an individual’s payment method
- Approval of the request is the third step wherein you’d be issued a confirmation number for the transaction
- The final and fourth step is to receive payments
Now discuss what type of payment gateways are there and how we can use them.
There are two types of gateways – modern and classic. Let’s discuss the modern gateway and the advantages associated with that.
Modern Gateways
In order to facilitate customers and to simplify the processes associated with payment gateways, modern gateways were introduced.
Not having to open a merchant account simplifies the entire integration process as it involves directly drawing funds from the customers’ accounts or payment methods (such as credit cards and debit cards) and depositing it right into your account.
While using a modern gateway, you just need a valid bank account and that suffices for the purpose.
At present, there is no dearth of classic gateways around the world and modern gateways are very few in number but they are increasing steadily. We hope that you would not have to work hard to find a suitable modern gateway near future.
