Payment Gateways

What is a payment gateway?

Allows the secure transfer of credit card funds from users on your website to your financial institution accounts.

Who can provide me with a payment gateway?

Can Signal Point get the payment gateway for me?

Nope, we're sorry. The reason is that we are not an authorized representative of the accounts you hold at your financial institution. This process involves yourself, one of the payment gateway companies and your financial institution. If you have any questions at all, we can help! Please contact us, we have been through the process many times.
