Business.gov.au have continued their ‘creating a great online shopping experience‘ article series by publishing a guide on payment gateways.
Business.gov.au defines a payment gateway to business owners as “your link between your online store and the bank” as an “e-commerce software application that authorises electronic credit card payments in a secure environment, in real time.”
Business.gov.au’s guide goes on to explain how payment gateways works and the benefits business owners can reap from them. The benefits include but are not limited to: being able to securely transfer payments, being able to convert from one currency to another, being able to sell at any time and keeping visitors on the website.
This guide marks is the third part of Business.gov.au’s ‘creating a great online shopping experience‘ article series, with part one focusing on the online shopping cart, and part two focusing on the online checkout.
Business.gov.au’s guide on payment gateways can be read in full here.
