I am aware of some third-party online payment processor. However, I've seen some sites who doesn't state which payment processor they use (eg. PayPal), the only field I see are registration details and credit card information fields. What are these type of payment processors?

Example, in Linode I wonder what they use as a credit card processor.

They are called Payment Gateways. They generally come with an api. You connect, send the CC details, payment is processed, response is sent back.

A popular gateway in New Zealand is DPS. http://www.paymentexpress.com/

They are incredibly easy to use and have different options depending on the size of your operation.

  • Thanks for this. So does this says it is country/region specific? – fishcracker Nov 08 '12 at 06:01
  • I'm not sure on that, if you are required to have a merchant account with a bank then I imagine you would need your Payment Gateway to have accounts in that country too. – shapeshifter Nov 08 '12 at 06:04
