Your cart or software
Which platform runs your site or billing, and which payment options it supports.
Online and connected payments
Connect checkout to the way your business runs.
Checkout, subscriptions, and integrations only work when every piece lines up: your site or software, the gateway, and the provider. We check compatibility before recommending a change.

Every piece has to fit together.
Most online payment problems come from a mismatch between the cart, the gateway, and the processor. We check that first.
Common fits
- Online shops and carts
- Membership and subscription sites
- Software and app businesses
- Customer portals and booking sites
Gateway and processor
The gateway connects your site to the processor, and some only work with certain processors. We confirm the pairing.
Subscriptions and saved cards
Recurring billing needs stored payment details, retry rules, and clear notices to customers.
Checkout and card security
Hosted pages and embedded forms change how much card-data responsibility you carry.
Who does the technical work
A named technical contact, from your side or ours, so the integration doesn’t stall.
Fraud and disputes
Chargeback and fraud tools differ by provider. We ask what is included and what costs extra.
Three ways to accept payment online.
Which one fits depends on how much you want to build and how much control you need.
| Setup | How it works | Often fits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted checkout page | Customers pay on a page run by your provider. | Simple sites and a fast start, with less card-data responsibility. | Less control over how checkout looks and flows. |
| Gateway in your cart or site | Your site sends payments through a gateway to the processor. | Shops and portals with custom needs. | The gateway and processor must match, and setup takes more work. |
| Payment links and virtual terminal | Send a link, or type a card in yourself for a phone order. | Phone orders, quotes, and lower volume. | Keyed sales often cost more, and the work is manual. |
General guide, not a quote. Features, fees, and availability depend on the provider, the gateway, and your platform.

Straight answers, before you commit.
What is a payment gateway?
A gateway is the service that passes payment details from your website or software to the processor. It is separate from the processor, although some providers bundle the two.
Can you connect to my existing website or cart?
Possibly. It depends on your platform and the gateways it supports. Tell us what you use and we check its documentation and confirm with the provider before recommending a change.
Do I need a developer?
Sometimes. Many carts have built-in connections, while custom sites and software usually need a developer. We help you scope the work and name an owner.
How does recurring billing work?
The customer authorizes future charges, the provider stores the payment details, and your system triggers each charge on schedule. We check that your provider supports it, and how failed payments are retried.
Most businesses use more than one.
