So you’ve finally set up your eCommerce shop and the sales are about to start coming in! However, no matter how many products you have amassed in your store, it wouldn’t help you much if you cannot accept payments online for them and this can be so frustrating. To get the ball rolling, what you need is a payment gateway for your online store.
A payment gateway is a technology used by merchants to accept debit credit card or credit card purchases from customers online. With that said, in online stores, payment gateways are the “checkout” portals used to enter credit card information or credentials for services such as PayPal.
In this article, we will go through several payment gateways you can use for your Jamaican company or business if you are looking to accept payments online for your physical or digital inventory.
Payment Gateways:
