Introduction to Payment 
Gateways 
Definition of payment gateways
A payment gateway is a technology that facilitates the transfer of payment information between a 
customer and a merchant’s bank. It acts as an intermediary that securely processes credit card and 
debit card transactions for e-commerce and brick-and-mortar businesses.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) facilitate easy communication between the payment 
gateway and merchant systems, while SDKs (Software Development Kits) provide a set of tools 
that help developers integrate payment functionalities more rapidly and conveniently.
