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.
