Why your business in Dubai needs a good payment gateway

As you set up your business in a new country, one of the million questions is how you will charge your customers and receive payments. The answer is simple. All you have to do is integrate a popular and secure payment gateway to accept online payments. Integration, however, requires expertise to ensure that the merchant and customer can securely process the transaction online.

It is no surprise that safe and robust payment systems are becoming more and more popular, with online shopping becoming so popular. A secure payment gateway is crucial to the success of any Dubai business, whether it is a startup or an established one, a physical store you want to move online, or an e-commerce store you already run. Payment gateways act as a third-party mediator between you and your customers. With the right payment gateway, you can simplify the process of facilitating transactions while giving your customers the peace of mind that their financial details are in safe hands.

The purpose of your payment gateway is to offer convenience to you and your customers. The following factors should be considered when choosing a gateway:

• Payment Flow to Suit your business needs
• Choose the correct Software
• Security and Customer Support
• Fees and Service Agreements
• User experience
• Currency restrictions
• Support services for technology

Typically, payment gateways are associated with e-commerce stores as a means of accepting credit card payments. In recent years, service-based businesses have realized how valuable they can be in providing secure transactions, extending “”office hours,”” and expediting payment processing.

Since social media and other online platforms have grown in the last few years, UAE businesses have significantly pushed to take online payments outside the website and apply them to different channels to make online purchases. Payment gateways are now available for your social media platforms, which will help you convert your fans into customers and grow the business.

Leading enablers of digital commerce across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, like Network International, offer merchants and financial institutions of all types and sizes a full suite of technology-enabled payment solutions, including acquiring and processing services, as well as a comprehensive, ever-evolving array of value-added services.

The service they provide is the MasterCard Internet Gateway Service (MiGS). Several market experts consider it to be the best-in-class eCommerce payment gateway in the UAE.

By integrating Electronic Commerce (EC) and Call Centre payments, MiGS allows merchants to simplify and secure the payment process. The MiGS process is quite simple. It switches merchant payment transactions directly to the card issuer. This feature allows customers to browse your online store and purchase items with MasterCard and Visa cards. In addition, it is possible for people with non-bank payment cards, such as JCB, to make payments using MiGS. MiGS also supports multiple security transaction protocols, including MasterCard SecureCode, Verified by Visa, and J-Secure for JCB.

Network International’s intuitive payment technology platform offers your customers seamless and secure shopping and payment experiences. Whatever the size of your business, you can choose from a variety of payment and add-on solutions.
