Overview

Gate is one of the ecommpay payment platform, and it provides a full range of capabilities for interaction with the payment platform. Gate supports performing one-time purchases and COF purchases, refunds and payouts, as well as requesting additional information, for instance, a payment status. You can integrate with the platform solely via Gate, or you can combine using Gate with other ecommpay interfaces and solutions. For example, you can set up processing purchases via Payment Page and issue payouts and refunds via Gate.

Gate allows you to accept card payments and alternative payments (for more information, see Methods). Payments with direct use of payment cards are supported for American Express, Mastercard, Visa, CUP (only for payouts). In accordance with the 2020 recommendations of Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, the payment platform supports payments with expired cards. To enable this feature, contact the ecommpay technical support.

To process payments via Gate, you need to develop your own payment interface, with full UI control. Processing card payments via Gate requires your payment interface to be a PCI compliant (for more information about necessary documents, contact your ecommpay account manager).

In general, while performing a payment, the web service sends a request to one of the Gate API endpoints. Then the payment platform receives the request, processes and redirects it to third parties participating in payment processing and responds with a callback contained the final payment result.
