Payments Gateways FAQs
What’s the difference between a payment gateway and a payment processor?
A gateway handles data transmission and authorization; the processor (or acquiring bank) performs settlement and money movement. Both work together in every transaction.
How long does a gateway transaction usually take?
Authorization via a gateway typically completes in ~2–3 seconds, getting instant approval or decline feedback.
What’s a white-label payment gateway?
It’s the same tech as a standard gateway but rebranded—letting you offer payment services under your own company’s name.
Can I support multiple currencies and gateways at once?
Yes. With robust solutions or orchestration platforms, you can handle different currencies and route to gateways based on currency, region, or cost.
What should I look for when choosing a gateway for high-risk businesses?
Focus on features like high-risk merchant support, flexible integration options, strong fraud controls, fast settlements, and reliable onboarding. That’s what sets Cathedral apart for complex industries.
Can I use the same gateway for in‑person and online sales?
Yes. Our integration lets you route both e-commerce and brick‑and‑mortar transactions through one gateway setup—simplifying operations and reconciliation.
