ECOMMERCE & ONLINE

Online payment processing for your business

Explore ways to collect payments online, from a shareable payment link to a checkout connected with your store.

What should your payment setup do?

Online payment processing enables customers to pay without visiting a physical checkout. Options include hosted payment pages, payment links and ecommerce integrations, with the right choice depending on your platform and sales process.

Match the payment flow to the sale

A business sending occasional remote payment requests may not need a complete online store. An ecommerce retailer may need checkout, order status, refunds and product-related workflows to work together.

Start with your current platform

Website and ecommerce platforms can limit which payment providers or gateways you can use. Share your platform, current gateway and any subscriptions or integrations before comparing options.

Evaluate the customer experience

Consider mobile checkout, supported payment methods, confirmation messages and the steps customers take to complete a purchase. Ask how failed payments, refunds and support are handled in the proposed setup.

Review costs and responsibilities

Compare transaction fees, gateway charges, platform fees and any additional integration work. Clarify who configures the connection, maintains it and helps when a payment issue crosses between systems.

QUESTIONS TO START WITH

A little clarity before you decide.

Do I need an online store to accept remote payments?

Not necessarily. A payment link or hosted payment page may suit some sales processes. The right option depends on what customers are buying and the records you need.

Can a payment gateway connect with my existing website?

Possibly. Compatibility depends on the site platform, gateway and integration method. Those details need to be checked before choosing a provider.

Can I use the same setup online and in person?

Some systems support both channels. Confirm reporting, inventory or customer-record needs separately; accepting both types of payment does not automatically mean all records sync.
