Frequently Asked Questions
What is an online payment platform?
An online payment platform is a browser-based payment gateway used to send, hold and receive money.
Airwallex’s online payment APIs let merchants accept payments from customers across the globe, collect and hold funds in their customers’ own currencies, and pay out to overseas suppliers and staff without unnecessary conversion fees. In other words, businesses can manage an entire transaction lifecycle globally, and everyone receives their payments on time, and in full.
How do online payment processors work?
Online payment processors manage the card transaction process by transmitting your customer’s card payment information to your account and your customer’s bank. It serves as the middleman between the issuing bank and the merchant.
Firstly, your customer selects an item to purchase and completes the checkout process. Once their card information has been collected, the card network requests authorisation to release the funds from the issuing bank, which are then collected into your business’ bank account or online business account.
How to accept payment online
Airwallex has made it easy to accept payments online. Once you set up Online Payments on your Airwallex account, your customers can pay you directly into a multi-currency digital wallet. These funds can be used to make direct payouts to overseas suppliers without any forced currency conversions. Airwallex lets you build the best foreign exchange rate into your pricing and transactions. More money for you, and your customers.
