2D Payment -3D Payment Gateway. The Difference For South African Merchants
The primary difference between 2D and 3D payment gateway is that the 3D payment processing solution has an additional feature which reduces fraud percentage. With 3D payment gateway, customers authentication is required to make an online transaction. After submitting transaction details, the 3D secure page requires OTP, PIN or password to verify that the actual cardholder is making the transaction. With 2d Payment Gateway, this filter is not applicable. We strongly suggest all merchants should use 3D Secure payment gateways.
Quadrapay has done its own research in finding reliable credit card processing options for South Africa but you must look at these additional factors:
- Transparent Fee Structure – Merchants can ask the PSPs about the pricing structure in advance. The merchant should look at the MDR Percentage, Rolling Reserve(Applies in case of High risk Merchant Accounts and Payment gateways), Arrears. Merchants also have right to negotiate regarding pricing structure.
- Security – Before applying for a South African payment gateway, merchants should analyse the processor that they are going to signup. The PSP must be fully compliant to the PCI DSS standards. Quadrapay is proud to announce that the card processing solutions that we recommend in the entire African market are fully PCI DSS compliant.
- Integration Assistance – Payment gateway integration plays a crucial role. Business owners can ask Quadrapay for integration assistance. You can also ask the processors for ready-made plugins for well-known CMSs like WordPress, Magento, Shopify etc.
- Multiple Currency Payment processing Solutions – If South African business owners have customers from different nations then it is essential that the payment gateway has the feature of multicurrency processing. International customers like to pay in their local currencies.
- Payout Schedule – Ask your payment service provider for the payout schedule. Most of the time, processors keep the arrears of one week for the high-risk industry. Low risk merchants can get payouts in the frequency of T+3.
- Company Reputation – Merchant should do their own in-depth research about the reputation of payment gateway company.
