Merchant acquiring FAQs
-
New to the world of merchant acquiring? Here’s everything you need to know…
-
A merchant acquirer is a financial institution or payment provider that enables merchants to accept credit and debit card payments. They manage the flow of transactions between the merchant, payment network, and issuing bank, ensuring funds move securely and efficiently.
-
The merchant acquiring process begins when a customer makes a payment - either in-store or online. A payment gateway captures and encrypts the transaction data, then securely sends it to the merchant acquirer (or processor) for authorization.
The acquirer then connects to the appropriate card scheme (e.g., Visa, Mastercard) and the issuing bank, to check whether the transaction should be approved. Once authorized, the acquirer helps settle the transaction by ensuring funds are transferred from the issuer to the merchant’s account.
Acquirers also manage merchant onboarding, compliance, and ongoing support, making them a critical part of the payment value chain. Want to dive deeper into this part of the process? Check out our article: What is a Payment Gateway?
-
Merchant acquiring and processing are closely linked. Acquirers provide the infrastructure for merchants to accept payments, while processors handle the technical side of moving funds. Aevi supports both by offering a unified platform that simplifies how acquirers manage these processes behind the scenes. You can learn more about this in our article: What is the difference between a merchant acquirer and a payment processor?
