Top 5 international e-commerce payment processing
In the era of technological development, ecommerce also grows and makes amazing strides. Therefore, ecommerce payment processing needs to be updated to meet the requirements of users.
What is ecommerce payment processing? How does it work? Let’s find out the answer with FinFan.
What is ecommerce payment processing?
During the online shopping process, customers will go through the steps.
-
Searching for products on the internet.
-
Select the items that they want to buy.
-
Paying for the bill through the payment gateway.
In step 3 of the online shopping process, payment processing will be activated. That helps payment to be faster.
There are three elements of eCommerce payment processing, including:
-
Payment gateway: an online payment service integrated into the eCommerce platform through which customers can make payments for online purchases.
-
Payment processor: a company that communicates with and puts money in your merchant account on behalf of customers.
-
Merchants accounts: It is the gateway that talks to your bank. The store’s gateway connects to the merchant account and it charges the customer’s payment information directly.
How does ecommerce payment processing work?
Here are 5 steps of ecommerce payment processing.
Step 1: Open the payment gateway.
Customers can pay for many reasons: buying a present, paying a bill, making an online donation, etc. When they come to the third step of the shopping process, they need to choose their payment methods through payment gateways.
Step 2: Communicate payment processor.
The encrypted payment details are sent to the payment processor via the payment gateway once they click the button to submit the information.
Step 3: Authorized or rejected.
The payment information will be encrypted by the payment processor. After this encryption, the data will be handled, and let the payment processor know if the payer can be eligible to pay or not to make the final decision either authorize or reject the payment.
Step 4: Notify the successful transaction.
If the transaction is authorized, the merchant’s website will receive a notification from the gateway. But at this point, funds from the transaction haven’t shown up in the merchant account yet. We need a final step.
Step 5: Credit the account
Within a few days, the money from customers officially appears in your account. The customer receives a receipt or order confirmation if the transaction is approved, and the funds are deducted from the client’s available credit or bank account and deposited into the merchant’s bank account.
