Choosing the right payment gateway is essential for ensuring smooth and secure transactions in your Shopify store. At Shop Zinga, we take care of the entire payment setup process, integrating the best payment options tailored to your business and customers in the UAE.
What Are Payment Gateways?
A payment gateway is a technology that allows your store to securely process payments made by customers using credit cards, debit cards, or other payment methods. It connects your eCommerce store, customer’s bank, and the payment processor, ensuring that transactions are fast and secure.
