What You Need to Consider When Selecting a Gateway
When you offer eCommerce website development via WebXPro, advise your clients on these key factors:
Local vs International Payments: If they target Pakistani customers only, a local wallet + card integration is enough. If they also sell internationally, you’ll need a gateway supporting multi-currency or international card acceptance.
Integration & Platform: Does the gateway offer plugins or easy integration for WordPress/WooCommerce? Some are plugin-ready, which speeds up development.
Fees & Settlement Time: Merchant account fees, per-transaction charges, settlement time (how fast funds reach the merchant bank).
Support & Reliability: Local servicing, downtime history, ease of setup.
Payment Methods Mix: Offer multiple methods (cards, wallets, bank transfer) to increase conversions.
Security & Compliance: PCI-DSS, 3D Secure, safe transaction processing, trust signals for users.
Contract & Onboarding Requirements: Some gateways require extensive documentation or high setup fees. Know these ahead of time.
