A payment gateway is a technology that facilitates the transfer of payment information from a customer to a merchant’s acquiring bank, enabling secure authorization, processing, and settlement of online and in-person transactions. Acting as the digital bridge between the customer’s bank and the merchant’s payment system, a payment gateway encrypts sensitive data, such as card numbers and PINs, to ensure secure payment processing. Payment gateways are essential for e-commerce transactions but are also used in-store with POS systems to manage both credit and debit card payments.
The payment gateway market has grown significantly, with global revenue expected to reach $100 billion by 2025, fueled by the rise in online shopping and digital payments. Payment gateways are now equipped with advanced features, including fraud detection, multiple currency support, and integration with digital wallets. Example: A U.S.-based e-commerce retailer saw a 15% increase in conversion rates after implementing a payment gateway with a seamless checkout experience and digital wallet support. Insight: Research shows that e-commerce businesses using gateways with one-click checkout and tokenization technology see a 25% reduction in cart abandonment due to the convenience and security provided.
