FluidPay is a payment gateway platform used by payment companies and merchants to accept card payments. If you are searching for FluidPay or Fluid Pay, this guide covers what a platform like it does and what to evaluate before you choose a gateway.
A gateway captures card details at checkout, a virtual terminal or an in-person device and sends them to a processor for authorization. It returns the result to your system, stores tokens for repeat billing and provides reporting. Your merchant account, which holds your funds, is a separate piece.
Check integrations with your shopping cart, software or point of sale. Ask about recurring billing, card on file tokenization and account updater. Compare which processors and acquiring banks the gateway works with, and whether your merchant account provider supports it. Review the fraud tools included, such as AVS, CVV and 3D Secure, and ask how pricing and support work, since both can differ by reseller.
The gateway and the merchant account have to work together. Some combinations restrict certain industries, so confirm acceptance for your business type before you integrate. For higher-risk businesses, see our high-risk payment solutions. For a broader comparison, read our NMI payment gateway guide.
Ask how long migration takes, whether stored card tokens can move with you, what the contract and cancellation terms are, and how declines and chargebacks are reported. Read about friendly fraud and chargeback representment so you can match gateway reporting to your dispute process.
