Frequently Asked Questions
How do digital payments work?
Whether for B2B card processing or B2C card transactions, digital payments work the same:
- The gateway captures the transaction request and either encrypts or tokenizes the information, then routes it to an acquiring bank.
- The acquiring bank (which provides your merchant account) takes ownership of the transaction request. Its job is to get authorization for the transaction.
- The issuing bank assesses the request: Does the customer have sufficient credit or funds? The issuing bank generates a response — yes or no — and sends it back to the acquiring bank via the card network.
- The acquiring bank sends the response back to the payment gateway.
- The payment gateway’s final job is to present the answer either back to the merchant or to the shopper directly (if you’re using a hosted payment page).
Congratulations, your order is approved!
What is a payment processor?
A payment processor provides functionality to deliver payment transactions to the acquirer and manage settlement of funds on behalf of the acquirer.
What is payment orchestration?
Payment orchestration is the back-end management of the full payment process from start to finish. A payment orchestration platform simplifies the complexities of payments, giving companies full control to manage payments, allowing for differences by country, by product, by issuer and more.
