How the system works
The scheme of the payment gateway service is simple. When a customer places an order, payment goes through the following steps:- Purchase. It involves choosing a payment method, filling out a payment form containing basic information about the client.
- The data is sent to the payment gateway. The system receives the information entered by the buyer and hidden fields - store ID, order number, etc.
- The gateway requests authorization by contacting the acquiring bank and the international system Mastercard, AmEx, Visa, confirming the validity of the card.
- When working with a protected technology 3D-Secure card, the client will be on a page with a password / pin code entry form.
- The next step, the issuing bank notifies the international payment system IPS, confirming the correctness of the information. The IPS passes the authorization to the transaction to the acquiring bank.
- The acquiring bank receives the amount to be debited from the gateway. The issuing bank assesses whether the buyer has enough funds, sends the amount, confirming the transaction for IPS.
- Acquiring bank, payment gateway receive confirmation by conducting a transaction. The seller learns about the successful completion of the transaction. Monetary units are withdrawn from the client's account, reaching the merchant.
Gateway components
Standard payment gateways are made up of pages containing certain information. Let's list the elements of the system:- Form of payment. It is located on the pages of the online store (it can be placed separately or opened in a pop-up window). A form must be located here, the sending of which sends the store ID, the amount to be paid, and a comment to the gateway.
- Payment confirmation. The service usually duplicates the entered data, then the buyer gets the opportunity to check his choice in the store, to confirm it. Sometimes the page contains additional options. Confirmation allows you to reject the payment, confirming it, the client agrees with all the conditions. It will be possible to change the agreement if the seller himself meets halfway.
- Payment status. On the page, the buyer reads information about the payment process. It displays whether the payment was successful or an error occurred. If the bank refused to pay / there was a problem, it will be displayed. How detailed the error will be depends on the system being used.
- Payment result. This page summarizes what is happening. Here, there is usually an opportunity to write to the seller, ask him to make changes to the order.
