If you plan on running an eCommerce website to sell your products
or services online, then you need a way to accept payments from
your customers. A Payment
Gateway is a tool that helps you do this.
A payment gateway is an e-commerce application
service provider service that authorizes payments for e-businesses,
online retailers, or traditional brick
and mortar businesses . It is the equivalent of a physical point
of sale terminal located in most retail outlets.
A Payment Gateway protects
credit card details, encrypting sensitive information such as
credit card numbers, to ensure that information passes securely
between the customer and the merchant and also between the merchant
and their payment
processor.
Since the customer is usually required to enter personal
details when completing a purchase, the entire communication on the
'Submit Order' page (i.e. customer - payment gateway) is carried
out through the HTTPS security protocol.

After you set up your merchant account, ACH account, or other
payment solution, you will need to install an SSL certificate on
your website in order to interface with a Payment
Gateway.
Our partner, Green
Web Design, offers low
cost SSL certificates, as well as secure
web hosting, private
domain name registration, and more to get your website ready to accept payments.
Our other partner, PayPointSecure.com, is a secure payment gateway
with Fraud Barricade technology designed to detect fraudulent
transactions and reduce shrinkage.
We can provide you with an ACH check processing merchant account,
and we can get you started with PayPointSecure.com's secure payment
gateway that can handle all of your ACH and other processing needs.
No matter what size your business, we have a payment processing
solution that will fit your budget.
