What are Payment Gateways?

Payment gateways are web-based software that allow you to process real-time payments securely on the internet 24 hours a day - be it using virtual terminals, shopping carts, mobile applications or financial software.

How Credit Card Payments Work

What's more...

You can process transactions through your payment gateway on a laptop or mobile device with internet connection while on the road. You log into a virtual terminal website or mobile application and start running transactions by keying in the card info or by using a card reader to swipe transactions.

Payment Gateways make it easy to get paid. A Virtual Terminal is a quick and easy option to start accepting payments with your account. It allows you to enter payment information manually without requiring a card reader or other expensive hardware.
