Yes, you can still accept online payments through:
- Pay-by-link
- Digital invoices
- Virtual terminal
A payment gateway is a system that helps transfer money safely and securely from a customer to a business during online purchases.
How it works:
- When you enter your payment details on a website, the gateway encrypts and secures this sensitive information
- The gateway sends this encrypted information to your bank to check if you have enough money
- Your bank will either approve or deny the request
- If the payment was successful, the gateway will help transfer the money to the business
