These days, I have to work on Payment Gateway Profile management in the Athiva project. I have to do some R&D on Payment Gateway. After some interesting R&D, I have now realized what is payment gateway and how its functioning. Here, I wanna share those knowledge with my readers. So What is payment Gateway? When ever you have an online payment issues, you need to have a relationship with a payment gateway. Thats mean if you wanna accept any online payments you need a payment gateway to do further processing. What is payment gateway? In a single word, Payment Gateway is a service that authorizes and processes payments for online retailers in real-time. The focused function of this payment gateway is equivalent to a physical POS (Point-of-sale). Payment gateways encrypt sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure that information passes securely between the customer and the merchant. Lets see how a payment gateways work. This is a simple diagram which illustrate the message flow in a typical Payment Gateway. A payment gateway facilitates the secure transfer of business information between a payment component and the Front End Processor or acquiring bank. When a customer orders a product from a payment gateway enabled merchant, the payment gateway performs a variety of tasks to process the transaction. The process behind the payment gateway is not simple that much. Further, there are two major types in Payment Gateway. One is Seamless and other one is Non-Seamless Payment gateway. Seamless payment gateway is one that processes credit cards directly on the online shop website without redirecting the purchasing customer to any 3rd party website. The whole transaction is seamless and takes place in real-time. Non-seamless payment gateway such as PayPal will redirect the purchasing customer to the PayPal website to process the payment and will redirect the customer back to the online shop after his has been completed. Here I have listed some of the important payment gateways.
