Integrating Payment Gateways

[Fiona Mitchell]

I'm still learning how to set up my online store and I was wondering how do you integrate payment gateways? Do you first contact the payment processors before I can use their services?

Before contacting any payment gateway, you should consider factors like transactions fees, security features and other things. You need to be prepared for these.

I agree, you need to research more about it since you're just starting out. After you choose the one you want that fits your needs, you should create an account with the payment processor.

Then after that, what should I do?

After setting up your account you need to obtain API credentials from the payment processor and use it to integrate the payment gateway with your online store. ecommerce platforms offer plug in to make the process more simplified.

Research and choose the payment processor(s) you want to use. Popular options include PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.net, etc. Each one has its own features and pricing, so compare a few to see what fits your needs best.
