Authorization and Processing
The Gateway will transmit payment authorization requests to issuing banks and process payment transactions on behalf of Merchants. Transactions may be approved or declined based on the issuing bank's decision.
Payment Types
The Gateway supports various payment types, including credit cards, debit cards, and alternative payment methods. Merchants may choose to accept one or more payment types through the Gateway.

Merchants will be charged a transaction fee for each payment processed through the Gateway. The transaction fee will be specified in the Merchant Agreement and may be subject to change.
Refunds and Chargebacks
Refunds and chargebacks may be initiated by customers for various reasons, such as disputed transactions or duplicate transactions. The Gateway will process refunds and chargebacks on behalf of Merchants in accordance with industry standards. Merchants are responsible for any chargeback or refund fees assessed by the Gateway.
