Payment Gateway Types

1. Hosted Payment Gateways

Hosted ecommerce payment gateway redirects customers away from your website to the payment service providers page (PSP) where the user provides payment details and completes the payment process. After the payment is complete, the customer will be redirected back to your website to finalise the checkout process. Hosted payment gateways are suitable for small business because it is secure and cost-effective.

2. Non-Hosted (API) Payment Gateways

Non-hosted payment gateway uses API or HTTP for making the payment.

During the purchase process, users enter payment details (payment card details) on the checkout page of the website owner. In that way, the ecommerce store controls all payment processes.

This method allows website owners to design their own checkout page interface and reduce unnecessary steps that can affect user experience.

With this type of gateway, ecommerce website owners can access the customers’ payment page and they can design their own user interface for the checkout page.


3. Local Bank Integration

Local bank integration redirects users to the bank’s website where they fill the payment details. After making the payment, the customer will be redirected back to the ecommerce website, with the notification of successful payment sent upon redirection. This method is simple and easy to use for small ecommerce businesses.
