What is a Payment Gateway ?

A Payment Gateway is a service that automates the payment transaction between the customer and your eCommerce website. Once a customer has placed their required products/services in your virtual shopping cart, payment is made via the Payment Gateway connecting your website to the acquirer to facilitate the debit/credit card payment. This is the virtual equivalent of a card payment machine.
