Payment Gateways
Stripe, Authorize.net, and more — we help you choose and configure the right gateway for your business.
What Is a Payment Gateway?
A payment gateway is the technology that securely transmits transaction data between your website (or virtual terminal) and the payment processor. Think of it as the online equivalent of a physical card terminal. Not every business needs a separate gateway — if you only accept payments in person, your terminal handles this. But if you sell online, take phone orders, or send invoices, you’ll likely need one.
