What is card payment processing?

Card processing refers to offering payments by cards as one of the payment methods on the commercial website or app.

Processing of different card types and, as a sequence, the acceptance of card payments is procured by credit card processors. They provide the merchant's site with software that enables clients to enter their card data and send it to all necessary institutions for successful payment execution.

Typically, this software has a user-friendly interface that allows store representatives to view and manage all transactions, fees, chargebacks, and other information on a single dashboard.
