Before we tell you why you need payment aggregators, let us first understand what payment aggregators are.

What are Payment aggregators?

Payment aggregators also known as merchant aggregators,  are the financial institutions that allow merchants to have  convenient, quick access to payments from their customers without setting up a merchant account. Payment aggregators thrive by tapping the relatively new market with low customer acquisition cost.  Payment aggregators facilitate the merchants to accept payments from the customers through credit/debit card or bank transfer. Essentially, a payment processor  can be thought of as a  link that connects your bank with your customer’s bank. Without this link, you would not be  able to process payments and accept payments from your customers.

Payment aggregators provide e-commerce merchants with a unified API that can encapsulate one or more online payment methods. In contrast with the traditional model where a single merchant corresponds to a single merchant account, payment aggregator service uses one merchant account to represent a myriad of merchants hence reducing the cost for each merchant.

Before you take an informed decision on the choice of the payment aggregator, you must keep the following factors in mind:

• Volume of transactions
• The cost of TDR (Transfer Development Right)
