Payment Processing

Behind every successful payment lies a complex process that ensures seamless and secure transactions. Gain insights into the intricacies of payment processing through the following subtopics:

Authorization

Authorization is the crucial step in payment processing that verifies whether a transaction can be approved or declined. Understand the different stages of authorization, including pre-authorization, settlement, and chargebacks, and their impact on merchants and consumers.

Capture and Settlement

Once authorization is obtained, the capture and settlement process begins. Learn about the various steps involved in capturing funds from the cardholder's account and settling them in the merchant's account, ensuring a smooth financial transaction flow.

Payment Gateways

Payment gateways act as intermediaries between merchants, customers, and financial institutions to facilitate secure online transactions. Explore the features, integration options, and security measures provided by popular payment gateway providers like Stripe, PayPal, and Braintree.
