Merchant Acquiring

Merchant acquiring is an integral part of card payment transactions processing, where acquirers enable merchants to accept card payments by acting as a link between merchants, issuers, and payment networks - providing authorization, clearing and settlement, dispute management, and information services to merchants.

Merchant processing services enable a business to accept a transaction payment through a secure (encrypted) channel like traditional PoS terminal, digital QR code or Payment Gateway using the customer's credit card or debit card or NFC or QR enabled device.

PoS TRANSACTION

A point of sale terminal (PoS terminal) is an electronic device used to accept card payments at retail stores either by swiping or dipping the card in the machine slot.

PAYMENT GATEWAY

A payment gateway is an e-commerce service that allows merchants to accept credit/debit card, net-banking and other forms of internet transactions securely via their website.
