The purpose of payment gateways, when incorporated with any e-commerce platform, is to **enable customers to pay seamlessly** for their online purchases using either credit or debit cards or via online banking. ### **The parties involved in this entire process are:** 1. The Buyer 2. The Merchant 3. The Payment Gateway 4. The Bank ![Payment Gateway -2](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Payment%20Gateway%20-2.png?width=850&name=Payment%20Gateway%20-2.png) ### **The process will be as following:** 1. The Buyer will **select products/ services** on the website/apps of the merchant. 2. When the Buyer **checks out**, he/ she will be **moved to Payment Gateway**. 3. The Payment Gateway will **connect with their respective bank**. 4. After that, the Bank will **transfer the transaction's status** to Payment Gateway. 5. Then, Payment Gateway will **return the status of the transaction** to the Merchant. 6. Finally, the merchant shall **notify the buyer of the status of the transaction**. ## What is Payment Channel? Payment Channel **facilitates** **the transaction** with the help of Payment Gateway which is **the** **tool** **that communicates the approval or decline of transactions** between you and your customers. Example: If we mentioned **eGHL** as the Payment Gateway then the Payment Channels that eGHL supports are **credit card, debit card, online banking, e-wallet**.   ## Payment Gateways for E-commerce in Southeast Asia ![Payment Gateways in Southeast Asia](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-13-01-98-AM.png?width=853&name=Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-13-01-98-AM.png) There are **several payment gateways in Southeast Asia** which provide the same services for merchants and customers. In terms of offering services such as online banking, card processing, and even offline payment, every payment gateway may look similar. But between them, there are many differences. To make them well known and exceptional in terms of results, they concentrate on what a company needs. The Southeast Asia region consists of 11 countries. **Malaysia**, **Thailand**, **Indonesia**, **Vietnam**, **Singapore**, **Cambodia**, and the **Philippines** are the major countries that are expected to success in e-commerce. This is because, due to the growing number of internet and mobile phone users in their countries and other many factors, these seven countries have the potential to grow.   ## The Top Payment Gateways in Southeast Asia ![Top Payment Gateways in Southeast Asia](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-15-46-95-AM.png?width=775&height=436&name=Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-15-46-95-AM.png) As already stated, these seven countries are projected to be the best in the e-commerce industry.

Even though all of these businesses have to compete with each other, but with a positive mindset to help, they continue to come out with successful growth that they can already demonstrate to the entire world.   ## Best Payment Gateway providers used by most Malaysian and Indonesian e-commerce businesses: ### In Malaysia: ### **1. eGHL** **![Untitled Design-Sep-03-2020-01-17-09-26-AM](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20Design-Sep-03-2020-01-17-09-26-AM.png?width=288&height=162&name=Untitled%20Design-Sep-03-2020-01-17-09-26-AM.png)** eGHL is a Malaysian payment gateway offering a secure online payment system covering both card and non-card payment platforms for online businesses across South East Asia. - eGHL offers lower credit/debit card transaction fees (**2.5%–2.8%**). - FPX payments (2.5%-2.8% or higher than RM0.70). - eGHL has One Time **Setup Fee** of either **RM399** or **RM599** depending on the plan you pick. #### eGHL also offers AliPay and MCash with the following rates : 1. **Alipay** One time setup fee: **RM300** Transaction fee: **3%** 2. **MCash** - No setup fee - Transaction fee: **0.5%** - Payments are made weekly to your local bank account with no minimum amount requirement. **2. PayPal** **![PayPal](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-40-05-98-AM.png?width=293&height=165&name=Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-40-05-98-AM.png)** PayPal is well known internationally as it’s widely used by **both local and international sellers** ALMOST ALL OVER THE WORLD, it’s one of the most flexible payment gateways in Malaysia that is both popular and easy to manage. Customers can simply use their credit or debit cards while landing on PayPal's website during the checkout process by clicking on the link "Pay with a credit card." PayPal Malaysia **DOES** **NOT** **need any registration fee or annual fee** to use its online credit card processing features, making it highly recommended for new startups to start accepting credit/ debit card payments from customers. Even customers **DO NOT NEED** to have a PayPal Malaysia account to make a payment on a website that is using PayPal as their payment gateway processor. While PayPal is easy to set up and use, you still have to take note of the following: - The transaction fee is **3.9% + RM2 for credit/debit card** online transactions for **Malaysian customers.** - Whereas for **International customers** buying from you will be charged at **4.4% + USD0.30** per transaction. **For setting up a PayPal Malaysia account to start accepting payment all you should do is the following:** - Go to *PayPal Malaysia* and sign up for a business account. - Fill up your details and **remember to** **link** your PayPal account to your online store to start receiving online payments. However, PayPal Malaysia does not offer FPX online banking. You’ll need to transfer the funds from your PayPal account to your local bank account yourself.   ## In Indonesia: ### **1. Doku** **![DOKU](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-46-52-69-AM.png?width=337&height=189&name=Untitled%20Design-Sep-02-2020-09-46-52-69-AM.png)** DOKU is the first online payment in Indonesia.
