Since October 2022, the major credit/debit card associations have gradually stopped supporting or offering 3DS1.0 services. Instead, they have been strongly advocating the use of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), a protocol that enhances security for the online consumer and, at the same time, minimizes the merchant’s exposure to fraud risks. In line with the UK’s implementation of SCA commencing 3rd April 2022, the European Economic Area (EEA) has also launched this protocol to enhance the security of customer-initiated online payments and contactless offline payments and minimize fraud risk for the merchant. How do you ensure the security and efficient operation of your business in Europe and reap the benefits of the shopping frenzy? The answer is a full-scale adoption of SCA. Are you required to comply with PSD2-SCA? According to the PSD2, consumers transacting online within the EEA must comply with the SCA conditions stipulated by the payment acquirers within the region.

You must be familiar with online payments and credit and debit card transactions if you’re a business owner. When you expand your business globally, payment is one of the most crucial buying process steps. Convenient payment methods do not only enhance customer experience but also help expand your business in international markets. This is why an acquiring business establishes networks with banks or licensed payment processing companies to acquire an account that processes transactions. But becoming a credit card acquirer is an extremely complex process that requires many technical system integrations, merchant contracts, and certifications before you get to process your transactions. Since the process is complex, a merchant acquirer bank fails to offer the full range of available global payment methods.

This article dives into processing credit card payments online by businesses, and the factors that should be taken into account when choosing the right credit card payment provider, as well as the risks associated with processing credit card payments online. What is credit card payment? With a credit card, your purchase amount is added to the balance of your account, which is typically called the balance of your credit card. In addition to your purchases, your balance also includes any discounts you’ve earned. Your balance includes interest and any fees and penalties you have been charged by the card issuer. In addition to annual fees and foreign transaction fees, there may also be cash advance fees and late payment penalties. During each monthly billing cycle, your card issuer will tell you how much you owe, how much you must pay, and when you must pay. You will remain in good standing with your credit issuer if you make at least the minimum payment on time.

In this article, we explain what a WooCommerce Payment Gateway is and how it can help businesses ensure a seamless customer experience during the payment process. We also highlight some of the factors businesses should consider when selecting WooCommerce payment gateways. What is a Woocommerce payment gateway? A payment gateway for Woocommerce is a WordPress plugin that adds payment functionality to an online store. It is here that the customer enters their payment information (credit and debit card numbers, bank details, PayPal credentials, etc.) This is where the cashier process takes place. For some stores, the buyer is redirected to an external site for payment; for others, they are allowed to pay directly on your site. Payment gateways require sellers to open merchant accounts with the providers before they can use them. Once activated and installed, a payment gateway can be used immediately. Payment Gateways operate successfully when four parties are involved.

For many consumers in Europe and the Americas, the credit card has been the preferred mode of payment for all their transactions. However, with the upsurge in ecommerce and the proliferation of diverse payment methods, the consumer has been spoilt for choice. Of special mention is the ability to buy now and pay later payment method, which has caught the interest of the millennials and Gen Z, swiftly becoming their “goto” mode of payment. Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is a short-term financing offering that enables the consumer to place the order for a product, arrange to make payment for it at an agreed later date with no other fees imposed, as long as payment is made promptly, as scheduled. According to Juniper Research, 340 million consumers used BNPL in 2021, with this number expected to go up to 1.5 billion by 2026. Of the total transactions generated using this payment method, more than 24% were attributed to the ecommerce industry.
