Payment gateways are third-party facilitators that allow you to acknowledge payments from your clients online. A payment gateway will usually have a selection of payment alternatives, which include:

When the client wants to pay from an online store, he can select the option which he gets most suitable and pay you. In a way, the payment gateway operates as a bridge connecting your bank and store to enable the shopper to carry out shopping without any hassle. In place for the service, the payment gateway claims their fee from you through a Transaction Discount Rate (TDR) on the transaction amount.

Online payment gateways are essential, if your business relies on an E-commerce website and require collecting finances on the website in lieu of services or products obtainable to process the payment made by your clients. This assists customers to pay without difficulty, and later on the seller/supplier/manufacturer can access the cash paid by the client/shopper either or ask for a check or withdraw from their bank account.
