Types of Payment Gateways
- Redirect: The payment gateway simply takes a customer to a payment processor, like PayPal or Stripe, to process the transaction.
- Hosted (off-site payment): The customer makes a purchase on your website or at your retail location, and the payment information goes to the payment provider’s servers for processing. This is how Stripe and Square POS systems operate.
- Self-hosted (on-site payment): The entire transaction happens on your servers.
How To Choose a Payment Gateway
When you’re choosing a payment gateway or payment service provider, ask yourself these questions:
- Is it available in your country and those of your customers?
- Does it keep financial information secure through encryption and other methods? Is it payment card industry (PCI) compliant for online payments?
- Do you prefer a hosted or self-hosted payment gateway?
- Which payment methods does it accept? Does it cover your customer’s needs?
- Does it easily integrate with your website, financial software and POS?
- Does it offer features your business is looking for?
