How many Payment Gateways do I need?

Essentially, you need to offer your customers a way of paying online using credit and debit cards minimally. The real key is adding the appropriate Payment Methods for your customers but not too many that it leaves your Checkout Flow confusing.

Ultimately, the number and kind of Payment Gateway that you add to your EKM online shop depends on both the products that you sell and your customers. If you’re still not sure which Payment Gateway is most appropriate for your own EKM online shop, please get in contact with our Payments Team on 01772 957 204, who will be able to take a look at your account and advise the best solution for you.
