Need Of Payment Gateway:-
- When selling online, it is important that you provide a safe and reliable area for your customers to make transactions. Using a payment gateway is a tremendous asset to your business since it facilitates the payment from the customer to the merchant’s account.
Payment Gateway checks for validity, encrypts transaction details, ensures they are sent back to the correct destination and then decrypts the responses which are being sent back to the shopping cart. This is a very seamless process and the customer never directly interacts with the payment gateway. All customer interaction is handled by the shopping cart.
