In this modern technological era, a business must accept at least one type of online payment method such as credit card. The truth is that a lot of people likes to shop for items directly online. For this reason, a secure payment gateway integration with your company/business’s app is a fundamental requirement. It promises your clients as well as users with data confidentiality when looking to purchase your goods online.
A protected payment gateway integration allows your business to accept online transactions i.e. credit cards and direct payments, safely. Such services cost you per transaction but choosing the right portal for your business is more essential. The type of payment gateway that does not only support your business but also guarantees affordability according to the budget of your company is what you should look out for. Here are few things you should know before opting in for a particular payment gateway integration for your business’ mobile application.

SECURITY CERTIFICATES; PCI DSS COMPLIANCE
Confidentiality of user’s data is the biggest risk you have to undertake when integrating payment gateways to your online business as you will remain responsible for your user’s data security such as credit/debit card number, bank accounts, passcodes, private information – everything. Any security breach could lead to legal prosecutions and liabilities. Thus, a business must obtain a PCI DSS compliance certificate in this regard. Payment Card Industry — Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance is a set of industrywide and globally standardized requirements supported by every international financial card system provider. It majorly deals with the internal and external risk management of data which includes;

  1. Removal of sensitive data.
  2. Protection of Networks.
  3. Security of payment card Applications.
  4. Monitoring and control over access to systems.
  5. Protection of stored cardholder data.
  6. Finalizing processes to support the maintenance of PCI DSS.
