What is payment processing?

Payment processing is the backbone of the modern commerce. It is a series of steps that facilitates electronic transactions between buyers and sellers. This process allows the seller to receive the funds from the buyer for the goods or services provided. Key players include cardholders, merchants, issuing banks on a cardholder's end of the transaction, acquiring banks on the merchants' end, and payment processors as an intermediary. While payment processing is the end-to-end journey, the payment processor is the facilitator and works on behalf of the acquiring bank.

Key steps in the transaction process are:

Authorization-confirming that the purchaser has sufficient funds to complete the transaction.

Authentication-verifying that the initiator of the transaction is the authorized accountholder. Some tools can pre-validate customer account data to help ensure payment security.

Clearing-verifying a payment by confirming transaction details, analyzing for fraud and checking for compliance with legal requirements.
