Inside this material

A payment gateway sits between your checkout and the card networks, and the way it is chosen and set up affects conversion, cash flow and customer trust. This e-learning material explains that journey step by step, from the moment a customer presses the pay button to the moment funds reach your account.

The first levels cover the building blocks: hosted and embedded checkouts, the role of the acquiring bank, supported currencies and methods, and the security standards a business is expected to follow. Later levels move to planning an integration project, including writing requirements for developers, testing payments before launch, and preparing processes for refunds, failed payments and chargebacks.

By applying each part to your own store, you build a checklist you can take into conversations with providers and developers, so decisions are made with a clear picture of the trade-offs.
