Payment Gateway Integration for E-Commerce

Effective payment gateway integration is essential for all online retailers, and is a key part of a successful e-commerce site where ease of use, security and customer reassurance are all paramount.

For the retailer, it has significance in a number of areas: for PCI DSS compliance and security, as you don’t need to worry about storing actual credit card numbers; for reduction of fraud, as you receive orders in the knowledge that the credit card payment has cleared. On your customer’s side, a customer can have confidence that their card details are handle securely by a well-known and trusted brand, particularly when using major payment gateways such as Worldpay, Opayo (formerly SagePay), Stripe or Paypal, or digital wallets such as Google Pay or Apple Pay.

Alternatively, your customers may be known to you, and you can allow them to checkout “on account” for example. This allows you to take the order through the web, and settle the payment by other means offline. This method is especially suited to B2B or procurement web sites where your site is selling to other trade businesses, or to allow students to procure uniforms for a course.

Examples of payment integration methods

Payment Integration Options

Plugin installation

We install and configure an off-the-shelf commercial plugin or extension for your e-commerce system to connect it to one or more payment gateways.

Payment on account

Highly suited to procurement or B2B sites, we can develop an integration which allows customers to pay on account and/or by card, as required.

Direct integration

Ideal for entirely custom applications, our developers write a bespoke integration to connect your store or application directly to your chosen payment gateway.
