A payment gateway is the technology that securely connects your website to the card networks. When a customer enters their card details on your checkout page, the gateway encrypts the data, sends it to the bank for approval, and returns a response in seconds.
Without a gateway, your website cannot accept card payments. With the right one, set up correctly, your customers pay with confidence and your money arrives the next business day.
The right gateway depends on how you sell and what platform your website runs on.
| Business Type | Best Gateway Type | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Ecommerce store on Shopify | Shopify-compatible gateway | Shopify has its own payments built in. If you need a separate gateway, it must be on their approved list. Peakwa connects the right one. |
| WordPress or WooCommerce site | Direct processor or Stripe | WooCommerce supports most major gateways via plugins. A direct processor gateway gives you better rates than Stripe or PayPal. |
| Wix or Squarespace site | Platform-compatible gateway | Both platforms limit which gateways work. We know which ones are compatible and set them up correctly the first time. |
| Custom website | Direct processor gateway | A custom site can use any gateway. A direct processor gives you the best rates and most control over the checkout experience. |
| Subscription or recurring billing | Gateway with recurring support | Not all gateways handle recurring billing well. We select one built for subscriptions and configure it for your billing cycle. |

A payment gateway is the technology that securely processes card payments on your website. It encrypts your customer's card details, sends them to the bank for approval, and tells your site whether the payment went through.
It depends on your platform and how you sell. A direct processor gateway generally offers better rates than third-party options like Stripe or PayPal. A free consultation from Peakwa will tell you which gateway fits your setup best.
Yes. A merchant account is where your funds are held after a transaction. A payment gateway is the technology that processes it. Both are required. Peakwa sets up and manages both under one account.
Shopify has its own built-in payments system. If you need a third-party gateway, it must be on Shopify's approved list. Peakwa knows which gateways are compatible and sets them up correctly.
Most gateway setups are live within two to five business days. Custom integrations on bespoke websites may take longer.
Every ecommerce website and any business that takes online bookings or sells services online needs a payment gateway. It is not optional. Without one, visitors can browse your site but they cannot pay you. With the right one in place, your website becomes a sales channel that works while you sleep.
Most small business owners know they need a payment gateway but are not sure which one, how it connects to their site, or what it will cost them. That confusion is why many businesses end up on Stripe or PayPal by default. Those are fine options but they are rarely the best-value ones, especially for businesses processing more than a few thousand dollars a month.
Peakwa ensures fast, reliable, and secure online payments for every digital business.
