Payment gateway and online checkout
Give customers a way to pay at checkout.
Connect your website or app to a payment gateway that fits your checkout needs.
A gateway connects an online checkout to a payment processor. We help you check compatibility and set up an option that works with your site or app.
Short answer
What does a payment gateway do?
A payment gateway passes payment information between your online checkout and a processor. It is not the same as the processor account. Your website or app needs a supported connection, which may require development work. We help check compatibility and review current processing fees before you choose an option.
