Payment Gateways Explained

A payment gateway is an online technology that transmits payments for businesses. The technology encrypts sensitive financial information, such as credit and debit card

numbers and checking account numbers. The payment gateway ensures that this information will pass from the customers to the merchants and along the credit card authorization highway in a safe and secure manner. In essence, it authorizes the payment between a merchant and their customer. It can also link to your website so your customers can conveniently pay for goods and services online. Payment gateways provide fast authorizations for payment transactions that occur anywhere in the world.
