What is a payment gateway
A payment gateway is a technology platform that acts as an intermediary in online electronic financial transactions. It enables online businesses to securely and efficiently accept, process and manage various payment methods, such as credit cards, debit cards and electronic wallets.
What a payment gateway does
A payment gateway performs several important functions to ensure that payments are safe, efficient and accurate:
- Cryptography: when a customer submits their information during online payment, the payment gateway encrypts the data. This protects data from unauthorized access or theft during its transmission between the customer's device, the company's server and financial institutions.
- Payment Processor Connection: The payment gateway establishes a connection between the payment process for a company's customer and the payment processing service provid
- Authorization: the payment gateway forwards the encrypted transaction data to the Company's acquiring bank, which then sends the information to the customer's issuing bank or appropriate payment processor. The issuing bank or payment processor verifies the transaction details, including the customer's account balance and the validity of the payment method, before approving or rejecting the transaction. The payment gateway receives the response and passes it on to the Company.
- Data collection and reporting: payment gateways often provide businesses with valuable data that can help them analyze and manage their transactions. This information may include transaction history, refund management and other data that helps businesses identify trends and improve their payment operations.
- Fraud prevention and detection: in order to minimize the risk of fraudulent transactions, payment gateways use advanced security measures such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocols, fraud detection algorithms , Address Verification Systems (AVS) and Card Verification Value (CVV) checks. These measures help detect and block potentially fraudulent transactions before they can be processed.
