Frequently Asked Questions
Put simply, a payment gateway is the technology behind the scenes that transfers payment data. When a customer makes a payment, whether that’s online via a merchant’s website, via a card terminal or over the phone, the payment gateway securely passes their credit or debit card details to the acquiring banks. An accepted or declined transaction is then sent back to the customer, connecting them customer to the merchant. In other words, an online payment gateway is an online payment service that acts as a portal or tunnel between your merchant account and your customer's bank account. Any business thinking of accepting payments online will require a payment gateway to connect to the acquiring banks in order to retrieve the card details and funds from their customers. Your online payment gateway is the first element that the payment information hits when it is submitted online.

This is typically done by hold back a percentage of processing revenue per transaction and releasing it after a set time.
3D Secure is an added fraud protection measure for customers when online shopping, and is a regulation requirement for card payments by The SCA in Europe. The 3D stands for three domains; card issuer, merchant, and the 3D infrastructure platform. When your customer makes a payment, the 3DS may carry out further checks to confirm they are the legit card owner. 3D Secure will direct the customer to an authentication page on their issuing banks website, and they will be asked to enter a password/PIN that has been sent to their phone via SMS.
