Connect your gateways and start receiving payments
What is a payment gateway?
It is a payment service provider used by the merchant to receive digital transactions; the gateway allows us to authorize and receive the money when the customer makes a payment transaction.
The purpose of the gateway is to read the customer's information, ensure that funds are available, and securely execute the transaction so that the merchant can successfully receive the payment.
How to connect a payment gateway?
Before you can process transactions through Matic, you need to specify at least one gateway for each merchant you have created. This is the step where you specify which gateway you want to process transactions against, provide the connection credentials, and configure any other gateway-specific properties such as routing type by payment method, convenience fee (Cfee) for the transactions, and whether the gateway will be used in test mode or in a live environment.
The gateways available in Matic are Authorize.Net, NMI, and USAePay for debit/credit cards and Channel Payments for ACH.
Note
If you have multiple merchant accounts and want to use the same gateway, you will need to connect the gateway at each merchant.
Matic has two ways to add and configure a gateway, the first is to add a completely new gateway and the second is to connect a gateway that was previously connected to another merchant in the same company.
In the guide How to add and configure a gateway? you will find step-by-step connection details.
Remember that you have these guides to learn how to obtain the credentials of our available gateways and use them for integration:
