When choosing a high risk payment gateway for e-commerce it is very important to know what is a payment gateway, is it legal and safe to use it and what types of it exist?

A high risk payment gateway has an elevated fraud risk index due to a large number of possible chargebacks that the business can receive, causing the losses for the financial entity that has provided the merchant account. Therefore, it is very common for the bank to take its time during application process and investigate the nature of client´s commercial activity.

Characteristics of high risk business

A business activity is classified as a high risk when it has one of the following characteristics: 

  • The country of incorporation of the company is included in a list of high risk jurisdictions.
  • It has from 1% to more chargeback rate.
  • It has high or very high average sales ticket.
  • The incorporation date of the company is very recent.
  • The industry in which the business is developed is considered high risk.
  • The website of the company lacks security protocols (Https, Refund policy).

Is it legal to use high risk payment gateway for my website?

Acquiring banks do not accept and don’t provide merchant accounts to illegal businesses related to money laundering, however, they do include high risk commercial activities into the list of their clients. The difference, as we all understand, is hidden in the nature of the business and whether it is illicit or licit.

High risk payment gateway is a completely legal way to accept online payments. The businesses that choose it for their commercial activity are usually those with a very high average sales ticket or businesses that have legal gaps. Banking entities, unable to identify them as illegal, automatically classify them as high risk and offer them merchant account services.

How does a high risk payment processing work?

Payment processing involves 9 simple steps interconnected between the acquiring bank, payment gateway and the card issuer.

Step 1: The customer visits a web and decides to make a purchase.

Step 2: He adds the product to the shopping cart and starts the checkout process introducing his personal information and credit card details.

Step 3: The payment gateway collects information from the online store and notifies the acquiring bank about the transaction and order number.

Step 4: The acquiring bank detects that a credit card wants to perform an operation for an amount that has been notified by the payment gateway.

Step 5: The acquiring bank contacts the brand of the card used for the purchase (Visa, MasterCard, Amex ...).

Step 6: The brand of the card verifies with the card issuing bank if the client has sufficient funds to carry out the operation and notifies the acquiring bank if the operation is authorized or not.

Step 7: The customer is required to enter the security PIN in the 3D form that the card issuing bank has sent him.

Step 8: The payment gateway collects the information and authorizes or not the transaction.

Step 9: If the operation has been authorized, the card issuing bank transfers the money to the merchant account number.
