The best payment gateway for your online store.

Everything an e-commerce store needs from a gateway.

Six capabilities that decide whether a gateway is actually built for selling online. Each one is standard on CoreGateway - not a separate module or an add-on fee.

A clean REST + JSON API

Integrate checkout, the customer vault, and recurring billing into your storefront with a modern REST API, sandbox keys, and webhooks. Built for developers, documented, and consistent.

A branded hosted checkout

Drop in a hosted payment page styled to your store. Card data is entered on our PCI Level 1 environment, so your checkout is secure and your PCI scope stays at the simplest SAQ A level.

A customer vault for saved cards

Store cards as tokens so returning shoppers check out in one click and you never touch raw card numbers. The same vault powers account-on-file and repeat purchases.

Recurring billing built in

Run subscriptions, memberships, and payment plans on flexible schedules, with the Automatic Card Updater refreshing reissued cards so renewals keep clearing instead of failing.

Every channel from one account

Beyond web checkout, the same account covers a virtual terminal for phone orders, invoicing with pay links, and QR-code payments - so the whole business runs on one gateway.

Transparent interchange-plus pricing

One standard platform fee plus interchange-plus on every transaction - vault, card updater, recurring, surcharging, and L2/L3 included, not billed as separate modules.

Getting started

Go live on your store in three steps.

1

Sign up & get sandbox keys

Apply for CoreGateway and complete underwriting (typically 24 hours). Sandbox keys are available so your team can build and test against the REST API before a single live charge.

2

Integrate checkout

Wire up the REST API for a fully custom checkout, or drop in the branded hosted payment page to keep card fields off your servers. Add the customer vault for saved cards and recurring billing for subscriptions as needed.

3

Switch to live and sell

Swap in your live keys, confirm webhooks and deposits, and start taking orders. If you are moving from another gateway, we coordinate migrating your stored cards so subscriptions keep billing without interruption.

Questions

E-commerce Gateway FAQ.

What is the best payment gateway for e-commerce?
The best e-commerce gateway pairs a clean REST API with a low-PCI hosted checkout, a customer vault, and recurring billing. CoreGateway includes all of these at $20/month plus interchange-plus.
Can I integrate CoreGateway with my own store or platform?
Yes. A modern REST + JSON API with sandbox keys lets you integrate checkout, the vault, and recurring billing, or drop in the hosted page to stay at SAQ A.
What is a hosted payment page and why does it matter for e-commerce?
It's a checkout page served by the gateway, so card data never touches your servers. For a store that means far less PCI burden (typically SAQ A) and a branded checkout in minutes.
Does CoreGateway support saved cards and one-click reorder?
Yes. The customer vault stores cards as tokens, so returning shoppers check out without re-entering a card and you never store raw numbers. The same vault powers recurring billing.
Does CoreGateway handle subscriptions and recurring billing?
Yes. Recurring billing is standard - weekly through custom schedules, plus an Automatic Card Updater so renewals keep clearing. It fits subscription boxes, memberships, and payment plans.
How much does CoreGateway cost for an online store?
CoreGateway is $20/month plus interchange-plus (0.50% + $0.15 per transaction), with the API, hosted page, vault, recurring, surcharging, and reporting included. Month-to-month, no setup fee.
