Payment Gateway
A payment gateway is a service that enables payment transactions to be processed from the customer’s bank account or credit card to the merchant’s account. This allows businesses to accept online payments quickly and securely. Payment gateways provide a layer of security to prevent fraud by encrypting sensitive financial information. They also offer a variety of payment options including credit card, debit card, and electronic funds transfer.
Choosing the right payment gateway is critical for online businesses. It is important to select a payment gateway that is secure, reliable, and offers the payment options that your customers prefer.
we can provide our online gateway but because of our relationships across the sector we can offer solutions from the UK’s leading payment service providers to offer you with unrivalled choice.

What our customers says
"From the moment we had the go ahead with this project, Sue Mackrill has been amazing, very professional and has been following up on all tasks and ensuring that task is completed in a timely manner - thank you"
"We needed a card machine for a Christmas stall at very short notice, and within an hour they had sourced one for us. Amazing service and lovely people - would definitely recommend to other businesses!"
"As a family-owned business in a high value commodity world our costs always need scrutinising. We had little idea how the world of merchant acquirers and payment gateways work and were being led down a path by our previous provider.
One quick meeting with Richard and an email quote and we will save over 20k this year in just fees let alone found some other new ways to transact business in a secure way with our customers. With all the changes coming up with PSD2 and SCA we are far more confident to navigate through it with Richard rather than be led by a faceless financial corporation. Thank you."
Ian Davis – Tate Oil
"Having been through the exercise on a few occasions we weren’t looking forward to approaching it again, but Acceptcards were a great help in the analysis of data and provided a welcome buffer between us and the card processor.
I’d be happy to recommend any business to talk to Acceptcards – we have achieved substantial savings and the experience has been pleasant – not something I am often able to write!"
"Working with Accept Cards has certainly made the world card payment both on and offline straight forward and more understandable for an SME company such as Progreen. Not only are they on hand to guide you through the nuances but have also negotiated strong savings on our merchant fees. Even after initial negotiation they are still on hand with the same level of customer service once contracts are signed."
"Great company great people very helpful Would highly recommend Acceptcards Ltd to any one needing the service they supply"
