Its a digital evolution of the conventional point-of-sale (POS) terminal. A physical POS terminal requires customers to insert, swipe, or tap their cards on the machine. With a payment gateway, they simply enter their card details online on your website or app. The higher the amount, the higher you pay.
From independent sales organizations (ISOs) and payment facilitators (PayFacs) to acquirers, cardassociations, and beyond, each entity plays a unique role in shaping the payment industry.
