Configure payment gateways
What is a Payment gateway?
A Payment gateway facilitates online transactions by acting as a bridge between a website or application and the financial institutions that process payments. It securely authorizes and processes sensitive payment information between the customer, website or application, and the payment processor.
Once the preferred gateways are configured in Solo, you can start receiving payments when sharing the invoices with your customers, enabling them to make payments through the gateways.
