Acquiring FAQs

Let’s decode the complexity

What is acquiring?

When combined with a payment gateway, card acquiring services allow merchants to accept card payments at their checkouts. When customers make a purchase using a debit or credit card, the cardholder information or card data is processed, routed through the card network, and then sent to the issuing bank for approval.

What is the difference between card issuing and acquiring?

Card acquirers and card issuers fulfil different roles within the transaction flow. An acquirer sits at the merchant’s end of the transaction, whereas the issuing bank is responsible for the cardholder’s (consumer’s) end of the transaction.

What does direct acquiring mean?

As a Visa and Mastercard Principal Member, Ecommpay takes care of all of the clearing, settlement, network management and regulatory compliance of the card acquisition process — hence the term, ‘direct card acquirer’.

How do I choose the right payment acquiring service for my business?

When it comes to choosing the right card acquirer for your online business, it's important to consider a full-stack solution that will cover all of your payment needs in one solution. Your providers must also be licensed to accept payments in all of the regions or jurisdictions you wish to cover. As an example, Ecommpay demonstrates multi-jurisdictional capabilities across UK, Europe and other regions through a combination of holding its own licences and relationships with strategically aligned partners, so you don't have to worry.

As well as offering all of the popular local payment methods favoured by your customers, you'll also need to ensure that the payment provider’s service can easily integrate into your website or app. Finally, you'll need to carefully consider whether prospective card acquirers/payment service providers can offer the features you need to run your business successfully, including strong security, customisation options, and attentive customer support.

What are the integration options for Ecommpay direct acquiring?

As part of Ecommpay’s complete payment solution, card acquiring can be integrated into your website using a simple plugin, with versions available for every major CMS, including WordPress, Magento, Salesforce, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and more.

You can also tailor unique payment experiences with our flexible API or via encryption script, and use software development kits (SDK and mSDK) for popular programming languages to start accepting payments.
