eCOMMERCE PAYMENT GATEWAY
Sell to the world online 24/7
Over 90% of the UK are digital shoppers. eCommerce provides you with the opportunity to sell to anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Your website can offer customers a convenient way to browse and buy products, without being limited to opening hours or location. eCommerce removes barriers and offers easy ways for your customers to shop.
Once your customers click on the pay button, they will be directed to a payment gateway.
Here, they will enter their card details. Your business will get confirmation of the order and can then start the delivery process. When your customers shop online, it should be seamless and easy.
With our online payment solution, this becomes a reality for your business.

FAQ
-
An eCommerce Payment Gateway facilitates online payments for businesses. When we type in our card details online, we are using a payment gateway. When a customer makes a purchase, the gateway encrypts the payment data. It then sends it to the payment processor for authorisation and then confirms the success or failure of the transaction. This process ensures safe, efficient, and seamless online transactions for businesses and customers.

An eCommerce Payment Gateway and a payment processor both enable online transactions, yet they perform different functions. A payment gateway is a service that securely transmits payment details from the customer to the payment processor. It ensures that sensitive information is encrypted and protected during the transaction. A payment processor handles the actual transaction. It does this by communicating with the customer's bank to authorize and complete the payment. The gateway acts as a secure bridge, while the processor executes the payment.
