What is a Payment Gateway (Third-Party Payment Gateway)?
Simply put, a payment gateway (commonly called a third-party payment gateway) acts as a secure "digital cashier" and "protocol translator" for online transactions.
Core Function: It safely connects merchants (e.g., your e-commerce store or POS system) with financial institutions (such as card networks, banks, and digital wallet providers).
Key Roles:
Secure Transmission: Encrypts sensitive payment data (card numbers, credentials) to ensure transaction security.
Protocol Conversion: Translates payment requests into formats understood by financial networks and relays payment results (success/failure) back to merchants.
Payment Aggregation: Enables merchants to accept multiple payment methods (cards, digital wallets, QR payments) through a single integration.
Unified Management: Provides merchants with a centralized platform to monitor and reconcile transactions across all payment methods.
