Online payments for stores: the complete guide for store owners
5 min read
Online payment speeds up sales and cuts refused orders, but activating it takes steps and paperwork. Here's what to know.
What is a payment gateway?
A service that lets customers pay by card in your store and transfers the money to your bank for a fee per transaction.
What you usually need
Requirements vary by gateway and country, but most ask for:
- A commercial registration
- A business bank account
- A store with a return policy and clear contact details
Compare before choosing
Compare per-transaction fees, payout times, supported cards and how easily it connects to your store.
Offer both methods
Keep cash on delivery as an option; many customers in Jordan and the Gulf still prefer it.
