- (1888PressRelease) November 14, 2024 - Payment processing solutions are services or software that allow merchants to accept various types of payments, including credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, and bank transfers. Merchant payment processing solutions allow for secure transfer of payment details from the customer to the acquiring bank, or merchant bank. A variety of merchant payment processing solutions are available to meet specific business needs. For example, E-commerce payment processors are designed specifically for online businesses, while mobile payment solutions allow merchants to accept payments through mobile devices or tablets. For e-commerce businesses, payment gateways can be integrated directly into websites or apps, ensuring a smooth checkout process. The flexibility of merchant payment processing solutions by NationalLink allows businesses to accept international payments and provide customers with their preferred payment options.
Key components of a merchant payment processing solution are:
Merchant Account: This bank account allows businesses to accept payments from customers. It temporarily holds the funds until they are transferred to the business's bank account.
Issuing Bank: It’s the financial institution that issued the customer's credit or debit card.
Acquiring Bank: It refers to the merchant's bank that receives the payment on behalf of the merchant.
Payment Gateway: This software facilitates the transfer of payment information from the customer's device to the payment processor and then to the bank or credit card network. It securely transmits data for online transactions and ensures the protection of sensitive information through encryption.
Payment Processor: It handles the technical aspects of the transaction, such as routing payment information, authorizing payments, and transferring funds.
Card Networks: Networks like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover facilitate the transaction between the issuing bank (customer's bank) and the acquiring bank (merchant's bank).
Payment processing for merchants through the process of authorization, authentication, settlement, and funding. When a customer initiates a payment, the payment gateway securely sends the transaction details to the payment processor. The payment processor contacts the issuing bank to verify that the customer has enough funds and that the transaction is legitimate. The issuing bank checks the customer's account for sufficient funds and verifies the authenticity of the transaction.
The process of merchant processing solutions
After authorization, the funds are temporarily held in the merchant's payment processor account. At the end of the day or on a set schedule, the payment processor transfers the funds from the issuing bank to the acquiring bank, where the funds are deposited into the merchant's account. Finally, the acquiring bank releases the funds to the merchant's bank account, completing the payment process. This usually takes 1-3 business days.
