Frequently asked questions
What is a payment gateway?
A payment gateway securely captures online payment details and routes them for approval, connecting merchants to card schemes, banks and other payment methods.
What is 3-D Secure?
It is an authentication step that verifies the cardholder during online purchases, which reduces fraud and can shift liability away from the merchant.
What are payment links?
Links a merchant sends by message or email so customers can pay online without a website or app.
Should gateways support wallets and instant payments?
Increasingly, yes. Customers expect to pay with their preferred method, so modern gateways offer cards, wallets and account-to-account payments.
