Payment gateway
A payment gateway is a service that carries the customer's card details safely from your online store to the bank and returns the result.
What it means for a shop owner
It usually takes a fee on each transaction. Never store card numbers yourself, since the gateway handles that. Choose one that works in your country and takes your currency.
A worked example
An online sale of 200 with a 2.5 percent fee leaves you 195.
