Payment gateway
Payment gateways that connect your checkout.
The software layer between your website and the card networks — capturing payment details securely and returning an answer in seconds.
What a gateway actually does.
When a customer enters card details at your checkout, the gateway captures them securely, passes the transaction for authorisation and returns an approved or declined response to your website — usually within a couple of seconds.
Done well, it means sensitive card data never sits on your own systems, and your customers see a checkout that behaves the way they expect.
