An estimated 217 million people in the US are online shoppers. That alone shows that Americans are expecting to be able to conduct business completely online. Online merchants and businesses are adopting payment gateway systems in keeping up with these consumer trends.
A payment gateway is basically a credit card terminal used online. The gateway solution serves to encrypt, process and authorize a credit card transaction. The payment gateways are required whenever your business is planning to manage credit card transactions completely online. The term, “payment gateway,” is interchangeable with merchant gateway, payment portal or credit card gateway.
The most important benefit to having a payment gateway solution is the security. The secure PCI compliant solution decreases risks of breaches that are tied to credit card fraud. Any business that processes credit card information must comply with PCI regulations. This is because the PCI compliant technologies protect consumers from criminal activity.
