If you’re a business that accepts credit or debit card transactions online, you should choose the right payment processor. Online payment processors handle all the heavy lifting, from recording sales to sending you a bill statement and working with your banks to make sure you get paid.

Payment gateways or PoS terminals are used when a customer purchases something from your website or in-store. The gateway encodes data to ensure its security and sends it to a payment processor who then transmits it to the card network of the customer. The card network checks with the customer’s bank to determine if there is enough funds in the account to pay for the item. If the bank is able to approve the purchase and the card issuer accepts it, they will transfer the funds from their account to the bank of the merchant. The payment processor will relay this response to the merchant site or PoS terminal. This will inform the client of the successful payment.

When choosing a processor, think about security as well as ease of use and compatibility with the existing systems. Choose a processor that offers APIs or plugins that seamlessly integrate with your e-commerce system or POS. You should also evaluate your customers’ experience when they shop and your team’s transaction management and reporting experience. Last but not least, ensure you know the terms of your contract and how it will be easy to change providers in the future.
