payment gateway
Online checkout intermediary
A payment gateway is the technology that transmits credit card and payment information between a merchant's website and the financial institutions that process the transaction.
It encrypts sensitive data and authorizes or declines payments in real time.
Online retailers, subscription services, and e-commerce platforms rely on payment gateways to handle checkout securely: The store integrated a new payment gateway to accept international cards.
