The Complete Guide to Payment Gateway Integration for Your Website

Choose a Payment Gateway

Consider factors like transaction fees, supported payment methods (credit cards, digital wallets), security features (PCI DSS compliance), and ease of integration.

Register with the Chosen Payment Gateway

Sign up for an account with your selected payment gateway provider.  Complete any necessary documentation and verification processes.

API Keys or Integration Credentials

After registration, you'll receive API keys, merchant IDs, or other integration credentials from the payment gateway.

Integrate Payment Gateway

For integrated gateways, use the provided API documentation to integrate payment functionality directly into your website's checkout process.

Implement Security Measures

Use tokenization to replace sensitive card information with a unique identifier (token) to minimize data exposure.
