An online payment gateway’s primary function is to approve the transaction between the merchant and the client. It’s an important part of the online transaction process because it authorizes transactions between merchants and customers. In online stores, payment gateways are the “checkout” portals used to enter debit/credit card information or bank credentials for the purchase of goods and services.

Still asking for Rs20,000 as dashboard fee yo fee tyo fee re. And why don’t they or any PSP or PSO, in Nepal provide merchant service to a single individual? Why only to the one with registered business? I have seen in foreign (India, US, etc), a individual also can easily join as merchant in different PSP and PSO like Razorpay, Stripe, PayTM, CashFree, Instamojo & the list goes on…
