Payment gateway
Also known as: payment service provider, PSP
Understanding the term
It charges a fee per transaction, generally between 1 and 3 per cent plus a small fixed amount. For low-value orders, the fixed part weighs heavily.
Check two things before choosing: the payout delay, often two to seven days, and the dispute procedure, which can tie up funds.
