Accept credit cards online using your merchant account.

A payment gateway links your website to your processing network and merchant account. Like most gateway services, Payflow Payment Gateway handles all major credit and debit cards. What makes our gateway different is the low rates and incremental sales boost from offering PayPal and PayPal Credit* payment options on your site.

*PayPal Credit is subject to consumer credit approval.

What is a payment gateway?

A payment gateway is a service that sends credit card information from a website to the credit card payment networks for processing, and returns transaction details and responses from the payment networks back to the website. Depending on which of our payment gateway options you choose, credit card information is sent either from a checkout page hosted by PayPal (when Payflow Link is used), or from a checkout page hosted on your own website (when Payflow Pro is used).

Two gateway options, simple pricing.

PayPal has two gateway options that give you different levels of customization for your online checkout pages.
