"Ensuring security for your transactions"
Online purchasing has become a mainstream distribution channel for both retailers and enterprises, often providing an additional point of competitive differentiation. Ubiquitous access to the Internet has greatly expanded the speed and sophistication of the shopping experience. In order to fully leverage the value of this channel’s potential, merchants and suppliers must understand how payment processing systems operate. Although paying for an online purchase takes just a few seconds, it involves a complex chain of events behind the scenes.

What Makes an E-Commerce Solution Possible?
Along with the range of software and hardware that companies use to support the sale of products and services online, there are three vital components that make online purchasing possible:
1. The Shopping Cart
2. Payment Gateway
3. Payment Processor
We are focused on the payment gateway and payment processor elements of the overall e-commerce operations model, which transports the credit card information, receives authorization from the merchant's bank and approves the customer’s payment.

With millions of e-commerce transactions daily, reliability, availability and security are all required to ensure consumer data is transported quickly and securely over the Internet. E-commerce providers are looking for solutions that deliver these elements as well as operational cost savings.
