WHAT IS A
PAYMENT GATEWAY?

A payment gateway is an online point-of-sale terminal for businesses, authorizing payments for eCommerce stores and brick-and-mortar retail environments. It enables businesses to accept payments online, using credit card readers, POS systems, or integration with accounting or CRM software. Key features of a payment gateway include secure payment processing, recurring billing, and integration with online shopping carts.

When setting up a shopping cart, you'll want to find a merchant service provider that can also work with your shopping cart integration such as Zen Payments.

ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS
AND MOBILE PAY

An e-commerce website relies on the ability to accept credit card payments online. In addition to basic credit card processing, mobile payment options have also become popular. E-commerce must also be able to process Apple Pay, Google Pay, Paypal, and other mobile payment options from the online shopping cart. To accomplish this, you'll need to get set up with a merchant account provider who can offer secure payment gateways and cart integration.

Zen Payments has years of experience providing everything you need to accept credit cards and offer mobile payments.

OPTIMIZING THE
CHECKOUT PROCESS

Streamlining the checkout process

Reduce cart abandonment with a simple and secure checkout page. Offer multiple payment options, including credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payments. Use a hosted payment form or a payment gateway with a customizable checkout page. It's also important to optimize the checkout process for mobile devices and tablets.

Once you've chosen your platform, the next step is to set up an SSL certificate to protect your site from third-party security breaches and safeguard your customer's information. Lastly, ensure you are PCI compliant. For more information, refer to our checklist here.
