The new age of technology comes with many changes. One of those is how we pay for things. Before the pandemic, most people went to stores to buy things with cash but post-pandemic came the digital revolution of payments. As digital payments evolve, South Africa has been at the forefront of financial technology (fintech), with solutions such as secure payment gateways, alternative finance platforms and buy now pay later (BNPL) offerings.
Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to sell their products or services online, need to find a secure and reliable payment gateway to integrate into their website.
What is Payment Gateway?
A payment gateway is the secure technology that authorises and processes payments for both online and in-person transactions. It acts as a digital bridge between your business and the banks, securely encrypting customer credit or debit card details to ensure funds transfer safely from the buyer to the merchant.
Because of the large number of payment gateways on offer, SMEs must pick a reliable partner. One of the best in South Africa is Peach Payments.
