1. The customer enters their payment details online. This data is immediately encrypted. 2. The encrypted data is sent to the payment process via the payment gateway. 3. The payment processor sends the transaction information to the customer’s bank that issued them the credit card – the issuing bank.
4. The transaction is approved if the issuing bank account has enough funds to fulfill the payment. 5. The transaction is finally authorized, and the encrypted data alone is reversed – from the payment processor to the payment gateway and to your online store.
