What is a Payment Gateway and Why You Need One?
About this episode
Do you understand how a payment transaction works? While it might seem that accepting payments is as simple as swiping the customer's card, a few things happen before the transactions get approved. If you do not understand the role of your payment gateway, merchant account, and CRM, you could end up frustrated if something goes wrong.
This 10-minute episode explains how everything works together and why you might have to choose one payment gateway over another. It's crucial to know what you really need to focus on to keep your business running smoothly.
“It is much easier to replace a gateway than it is to replace a merchant processor, your internal CRM, or your checkout software.”
