The E-Commerce Payment Gateway plays a critical role in enabling and processing recurring payments for subscription-based services. While full subscription lifecycle management (e.g., plan creation, trial handling, invoicing) is typically handled by external systems or merchant platforms, the EGW provides essential functionality to ensure secure, compliant, and reliable recurring payment processing.
Processes the initial payment securely, applying Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) where required.
Replaces sensitive card data with a secure token, which the merchant can store for future use—ensuring PCI DSS compliance.
Returns the token to the merchant for use in subsequent Merchant-Initiated Transactions (MITs).
Executes follow-up charges based on billing instructions from the merchant’s backend or subscription management system.
Supported transaction types:
Card MITs (Merchant-Initiated Transactions)
A2A recurring payments via SEPA Direct Debit, Variable Recurring Payments (VRP), or mandate-based models
Payments can be triggered via:
API calls
Scheduled jobs or background billing services
Supports PSD2 SCA requirements:
Applies SCA during the initial transaction using 3D Secure 2.x
Handles recurring MIT exemptions for subsequent charges
EGW flags MIT transactions to optimize exemption handling and minimize friction
Built-in support for retry logic in the event of failed recurring charges (e.g., insufficient funds)
Configurable rules (e.g., retry up to 3 times within 7 days)
Fully integrated via API and merchant-side logic
Sends real-time status updates to merchant systems upon transaction completion or failure
Enables automated workflows:
Trigger dunning processes for unpaid invoices
Update subscription status based on payment outcome
Notify customers of success/failure events
