How payment gateways work
There are now plenty of payment gateways that don’t require a merchant account at all
If you’re reading this post, you probably know you need a gateway, but may not really understand why or how they function.
Let’s break it down. First, a payment gateway is an application that allows a store to securely request payments from customers. When a customer clicks “order,” it handles all of the next steps.
Your gateway:
- Verifies each customer’s billing information.
- Authenticates funds for each customer’s payment method.
- Approves requests, allowing your store to issue a confirmation number.
- Most importantly, gets you paid!
Now that you have a better idea of the “why,” let’s look at how to find the right gateway for your store.
All gateways used to require store owners to apply for a merchant account — a special bank account that allowed direct receipt of credit card payments. Unless you had a merchant account, there was no way for the payment gateway to transmit money to your bank.
