The success of an online store largely depends on the payment gateways integrated with it. A customer who prefers a certain bank/credit/debit card is favourably disposed towards those online stores with such payment facilities. Payment gateways are the bridge between the online store and the bank and this is accomplished through an ‘extension’ module in the eCommerce platform.
Magento integrates with more than 50 payment gateways available across the world through its extensions made possible by various Magento developers. Apart from core bundles support for Authorize.net, PayPal (various products), Google Checkout and Check/Money Orders , Magento has extensions in Magento Connect for Fontis Australia, Cybersource, Protx, Tweakmag Payment, SPPLUS, Fontis New Zealand, eWAY, ChronoPay, ePay, Paybox , American express, etc. Further extensions are built by 3rd party vendors for specific Payment gateways.
