Supported Payment Gateways


These gateways can be separated into two groups; On-Site Payment Gateways and Off-Site Payment Gateways.


Here is a list of the differences in functionality between On-Site and Off-Site Payment Gateways:


  • On-Site Gateways allow all transactions to be completed without leaving the website, while Off-Site Gateways require the user to be redirected to the payment gateway's website to complete transactions.
  • On-Site Gateways will automatically bill member credit cards for recurring subscriptions, while Off-Site Gateways require members to manually pay for each invoice.
  • On-site Gateways allow the Admin of a site to manually attempt to collect on invoices, while Off-Site Gateways do not allow for this functionality.
  • On-Site Gateways allow a member to store a credit card on file with the site, while Off-Site Gateways do not.
