The five ways to get paid online
Online payment acceptance comes in five flavours. A virtual terminal lets you key in a card from any browser, no website needed. Payment links send a secure pay-by-click URL. Hosted checkout drops a ready-made, PCI-light payment page onto your site. A gateway API gives developers full control of a custom checkout. And recurring billing charges customers automatically on a schedule.
Most businesses combine two or three. Explore the full toolkit on online payments.
No website? Start here
You don't need a developer or even a website to take cards online. A virtual terminal handles phone and mail orders, and payment links let you collect payment by text or email in seconds. These get you live the same day.
Building a real online checkout
For an ecommerce store, you'll connect a gateway to your platform. We cover the cleanest way in connecting a payment gateway to Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento, and how to design the checkout itself in the anatomy of a high-converting checkout.
Getting paid on a schedule
Subscriptions, memberships and instalments all run on recurring payments. Combined with a customer vault, you can stop chasing invoices and let revenue arrive automatically.
Staying secure and compliant
Online means card-not-present, which raises fraud and compliance stakes. Protect revenue with card-not-present fraud prevention and demystify the rules in PCI compliance for small stores. Ready to start? Talk to sales.
