Thinking of starting an online business? With more than 560 million active internet users, starting an online store is one of the most lucrative business ideas today. And to start a new online store, the foremost requirement is the acceptance of digital payment methods or a gateway to accept digital cash directly to your bank account. This “Gateway” is called the “Payment Gateway” or more precisely “Merchant Payment Gateway” which enables you to accept digital payments on your online store.

Choosing the right payment gateway is the second most important task for setting up an online business after selecting the right hosting providers. A good payment gateway can smoothen your online business with more sales & customer satisfaction, whereas a bad payment gateway provider can make your life hell & create a negative impact on customers.

There are many Payment Gateway Providers available in India, some of them also support International Credit or Debit Cards, some gateway company provides free setup & some are paid. Therefore, selecting the right type of Payment Gateway is always a bit difficult task for those who are completely new in this field.

Today, here in this article, I will try to cover the best payment gateway in India, especially for small business holders and startups. We also cover the Pros and cons of the top payment gateway providers in India with set-up charges, transaction fees, and other essential features, so that you can integrate a suitable payment gateway provider for your online business.

Now, let’s start in a brief about what is a Payment Gateway and how it works.

What is a Payment Gateway & How does it work?

In simple terms, a Payment Gateway is a link that connects your online store or eCommerce site to your bank account. A payment gateway provides a secure channel to transfer the digital payments made by a customer on a payment portal (eCommerce sites, mobile app) to the merchant bank account. A Payment gateway is a communication medium between the customer’s bank account and the merchant’s bank account.

A bank can also provide payment gateway services similar to other third-party payment gateway providers which are specialized in payment processing. The merchant has to pay a nominal fee to the gateway service providers as per the mode of payment used & the amount of payment.

Now, let’s see how it works

• A customer comes to an online store to purchase any item, make any purchase, and navigate to the Check Out section of the website.
• After pressing the Check Out button or any other similar type of button, the customer lands on a Payment Gateway service provider page where he/she has to provide payment information like debit/credit card details or net banking/UPI details, etc.
• The payment processor collects this information and communicates the same to the card-issuing networks ie. Visa, Mastercard, RuPay, Amex or Discover, etc.
• The card’s payment networks again route the payment information to the respective card-issuing banks. The bank responds to the payment information and accepts or declines the same to the payment processor via the authorization code. If an Amex or Discover card is used, then it directly acts as an issuing bank and responds to the same within its network.
• The processor communicates the same to the merchant website via the payment gateway. The merchant website then acts accordingly.
• The merchant submits all the successful batches to his/her acquiring bank for settlement at the end of the day. The bank again forwards the batch to the respective card-issuing banks for settlement. After the successful authorization, the acquiring banks settle the amount in the merchant’s accounts.
• The maximum time required to settle the amount to the merchant’s account is T+3. (T= Date of Transaction).

What are the benefits of using the Payment Gateway?

There are numerous benefits of using the payment gateway for the merchant. Leaving aside the other requirements, without a payment gateway, you can not create a successful digital store. Because it provides a sense of security to the customers as well as merchants.

Here are some of the benefits

• Secure Transaction: The payment gateway secures the payment information and transmits sensitive data in a highly-secured encrypted form. It protects both buyers and sellers from fraudulent activities.
• Faster Transaction Processing: Transactions can be processed on the site itself within a fraction of a second.
• Less Transaction Failure: Redirecting customers to another external site for payment processing may lead to transaction failures.
• Increase Customer Base: A digital payment system can increase your customer base more rapidly.
• Convenient: Online payment is the most convenient for customers because it is less time-consuming and fast.
• Less cart abandonment: Several redirections to an external site may lead to transaction failure, which results in more cart abandonment.
• Recurring Billing: Some payment gateway provides you the option of recurring billing from the customers.
• Mobile Payment: Payment gateway API can be integrated with mobile Apps.

What are the documents required for the Payment Gateway?

The documents required for the payment gateway vary with the type of business entity, i.e. individual, proprietorship company, etc. Most of the small businesses or startups come under the 4 categories, Individual, Proprietorship, Partnership Firm & Limited Liability Company.

All the payment gateway service providers support the digital submission of documents right from your PC or Laptop. The account and merchant onboarding process is completely online & paperless, with no need for physical verification of documents. The gateway service provider also verifies your bank account by depositing some amount on the account and confirming the same on the gateway provider’s dashboard.

After uploading all the documents, you have to generate and download the Merchant Agreement Declaration (MID) Form. The MID needs to be affixed with Stamp Paper. The Stamp Duty will be as per the Indian Stamp Act, of 1899. In general, it should not be less than INR 100.

The authorized signatory has to sign all the pages of the Merchant Agreement Declaration Form along with the Firm’s stamp if applicable. The signed MID form again has to be uploaded on the payment gateway service provider’s website.

Please remember that A current Account is a must to start a Payment Gateway service from any third-party gateway provider for business entities other than in the name of an individual.

Here’s a video on how to generate MID and upload documents on the PayU gateway service. The other service provider has more or less similar procedures for paperless KYC submission and account activation processes.

Factors for considering the Right Payment Gateway

Before selecting the right payment gateway service, you first analyze your needs and business requirements. If you are expecting a small online turnover, then it will not be a wise decision to select any high-cost Enterprise-level plan.

Payment Gateway provides you a digital payment solution for your eCommerce site. Some gateway providers might give you the complete software packages including free setup & annual maintenance cost, support, and security, instead of the only gateway access. Therefore you must carefully analyze the right type of payment gateway for your small business.

• Fees: Before setting up any type of payment gateway service, the fee structure of the company must be considered. Some company offers free setup or free of any annual maintenance charges. But No one in this World gives you a free Payment Gateway Service. They deduct the charges from the debit or credit card transaction. Therefore, you must consider what percent of charges the company will deduct from a transaction made via Debit/Credit Card, net banking UPI, etc. There is also a different fee structure for Visa/Mastercard cards Rupay Card Payment Debit or Credit Card payments or payments made through Netbanking.
• Recurring Billing Option: Ask your gateway provider whether they will give you the recurring payment option or not. Some gateway providers won’t give you the recurring payment option. If you run a subscription type of service where your customers have the payment option on a weekly or monthly basis, then you must consider selecting a recurring payment option in your Payment Gateway.
• Settlement Period: Settlement period, i.e., you must consider after how many days, your payment will get credited or settled to your Bank Account. Some Gateway Payment providers in India settle your money on a T+2 or T+3 days basis. Here T is the Transaction days plus the number of days. The shorter the period, you will settle your money in your Bank Account.
• Ease of Integration: How easily the Payment gateway integrates with your WooCommerce site or online store, you must take into consideration. Your Payment gateway integration should be hassle-free with the minimum documentation process. Otherwise, you have to depend on developers, which may cost you more. If you are planning to build the store on WordPress, then you will find WordPress Plugins from most of the gateway providers.
• Company Background: Before selecting the Payment gateway, you must consider the Payment gateway providers’ trustworthiness. You must check the company background, read user reviews who already have experienced the quality of service of the gateway provider, for how many days they are in a similar field, etc.
• Acceptability: You must verify if the gateway solution provider accepts all types of cards like Visa, MasterCard, or Rupay cards or if they can process the transaction from NetBanking, mobile wallet, or UPI payment. If you have a customer base from an international location, you must consider whether the payment gateway company can process international Credit Cards, etc.
• Mobile Optimisation: Nowadays more than 60% of users use a mobile or smartphone for online transactions or shopping. You must check if your gateway providers can integrate a payment solution for mobile-optimized sites.
• User Interference: The payment gateway solution should be easy and user-friendly for both customers and merchants.
• Support: The last but most important factor is reliable customer support. You must read the users’ reviews about how the gateway providers handle customer grievances before integrating the payment gateway service.
