If you’re about to accept credit cards online for your business you may need a payment gateway. Pembrokeshire Web Solutions have what you need for your payment gateway integration specialising in all the popular payment gateway providers.

A payment gateway is a function that allows you to process transactions over the Internet. If you wish to sell products and services from a Web site, you need a payment gateway to ease process between you, your client and the financial institutions. In other words the payment gateway operates as a link between your business Web site and your bank.

If you already have a Website or if you are planning to take your Web site to the next level and reach more customers but you haven't been using it to automatically take payments from customers, you will need to integrate a payment gateway. If you have an ecommerce Web host, you might already have access to a payment gateway, though this is doubtful if you are a U.K business.

Requirements for payment gateway integration

Payment gateway integration requires a modest bit of work. Normally it is a software application that needs to be stored on your server. This means that you may need a little extra bandwidth and/or disk space. We check the requirements of the payment gateway to make certain that your current hosting package will be able to handle the increase in technical needs.

Another thing we will need to do is make sure that the payment gateway is suited to the programming language used on your ecommerce Web site. We verify this to find out whether you are using one of the following:

• ASP or ASP.NET
• Perl/CGI
• PHP (most popular)
• Visual Basic .NET

We make sure that your payment gateway uses the same language as the rest of your Web site, so that they interconnect well. In addition, we will need to find out what sort of fees and costs are associated with payment gateway integration and service.
