Secure Online Payment Processing

Allowing customers to pay online increases transaction convenience, but the security risks posed by entering personal information into an online payment portal threatens the customer experience. Businesses must implement the proper security measures to avoid customer fraud and protect sensitive information. That's why it's important that you provide your customers with a seamless and secure way to pay online.

Build a Secure Online Payment Gateway

Creating an exceptional customer experience requires a deep understanding of all aspects of the customer journey, including one of the most important stages: the transaction process. This stage is critical because the customers’ opinions of your organization are directly related to the ease (or difficulty) of making payments. Expanding your online payment acceptance to include credit card, debit card and Automated Clearing House (ACH) methods creates a seamless transaction for every customer.

With the right solution, you’ll increase accepted payments using these online payment solutions that are built to fit your business:

  • Card and ACH options to simplify how e-commerce businesses accept online payments
  • In-app payments made easy by our developer app solutions
  • Digital wallets to give customers a secure, convenient method when they prefer to pay on the go

Master Your Payments Experience With Online Payment Platforms

Leverage a robust suite of application programming interfaces (APIs) created for developers, by developers. This allows you to completely customize payment acceptance and design a payment experience that fits your business. Plus, you can manage your own payment data or work with our experienced team to set up integrations.

Managing all of your company’s transactions from a single platform allows you to gain insights into operations with real-time reporting. Using a cloud-based payment platform for managing payments and transactions in one place empowers unified management and gives you:

Master Your Payments Experience With Online Payment Platforms

  • Simplified payments: APIs enable integration across your payment platforms for efficient and cost-effective payment management.
  • Reliable reporting: See real-time data about sales performance to identify trends and guide business decisions to match customers’ preferences.
  • Improved operations: Enhance operational efficiency with role-based authentication and automated dispute management tools.

Ready-to-Go Payments

Customers can easily make purchases on your site with a payment platform that stores payment information in a digital wallet for recurring transactions. Ready-to-go payment features might include:

  • Wallet functionality: Improve your returning customers’ experience by securely saving their payment methods for faster transactions.
  • Multi-lingual support: Present the payment journey in different languages.
  • Responsive design: User-friendly designs that work on PCs, tablets and mobile devices.
  • Digital wallets: Accept your customers’ preferred digital wallets, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Venmo.

Use and Accept the Most Secure Online Payment Methods

You want a payment processing service provider that’s committed to keeping your data safe using strict technology standards and protocols. You’ll reduce your payment card industry (PCI) scope with a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. Promote security through:

  • Tokenization: Tokenization is a security strategy that replaces data, such as card numbers, with non-sensitive equivalent information. These non-sensitive “tokens” have no meaningful value on their own but are unique identifiers, which secures the original information.
  • PCI-validated end-to-end encryption: End-to-end encryption hides card data during payment transmission, which also helps secure transactions. This strategy requires a decryption key to decode information, reverting it to the original form.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA): MFA refers to a security strategy that requires users to input several forms of identification to access a system or approve transactions. Using multiple identifiers creates an additional layer of defense against unauthorized access.

Meeting PCI-DSS Compliance in Payment Processing

The PCI Data Security Standards (DSS) includes policies that govern the handling of sensitive cardholder information. Generally, being PCI-DSS compliant means adhering to certain directives, such as using robust firewalls, allowing customers to change credentials when necessary and leveraging non-default passwords and pins. Being PCI-DSS compliant highlights your commitment to information security.

What Should Businesses Look for in a Secure Payment Gateway Provider?

Your security solution is only as reliable as your solution provider. The top elements to consider when deciding on a provider include:

Fraud defense

Reliable providers empower you to access analytics to measure potential risks and leverage tools to alert your team if high-risk transactions occur.

Compliance

Compliant providers have demonstrated their ability to meet or exceed security standards and implement proven security strategies for the utmost protection.

Integration

Solutions that easily integrate into your operations allow you to maximize your impact without sacrificing efficiency, creating a seamless experience for your team and customers.
