What is a Shopify payment gateway and how does it transform your business

A payment gateway acts as the secure bridge between your Shopify store and your customers’ banks. When someone buys from your shop, the gateway encrypts their payment details, verifies the transaction, and ensures funds reach your account safely.

Fondy’s external payment gateway for Shopify goes beyond basic processing. We provide intelligent routing, fraud prevention, and real-time analytics that help you understand and optimize every transaction. Your customers see a smooth, professional checkout. You see increased conversions and reduced payment failures.
