What should an online payment gateway do?
Support your checkout
Confirm your platform, supported payment methods, currencies, and the exact integration required.
Make reconciliation manageable
Ask how transactions, refunds, deposits, and fees are reported and matched to orders.
Expose the complete cost
Compare gateway, transaction, recurring, and implementation fees in the written proposal.
How do you keep your current workflow?
Start with the platform
Blackstone describes expanded plugin options for WooCommerce and business software. Confirm the specific plugin release and feature set for your setup.
Test before launch
Test successful and failed payments, refunds, wallet checkout, and accounting reconciliation. Assign responsibility for implementation and support.
Which payment flow does your customer need?
Online checkout
A customer pays while placing an order on your website. Confirm how the integration passes the order amount and updates the payment status.
Payment links and invoices
A customer pays from a link rather than a store checkout. Blackstone supports payment links and invoicing; confirm activation, fees, and how you match each payment to the correct customer.
Recurring billing
Recurring billing collects payments on an agreed schedule. Confirm customer authorization, failed payment handling, cancellations, and how existing subscriptions would be migrated before switching.
Published online payment tools
Embedded payment form or hosted request
The provider documents an embedded payment frame as well as hosted payment links. These are different ways to collect customer payments. A hosted link can be shared with a customer; an embedded form needs a website integration and testing.
Payments versus statement analysis
A payment form collects a customer’s payment for a sale. It is not the merchant statement analysis uploader. Our statement review continues to open the provider’s portal, with the report emailed to the address entered there.
Authentication and disputes
Blackstone also publishes a 3D Secure explanation. Confirm whether the checkout supports it, how it is enabled, and which transactions qualify for any fraud liability treatment. Authentication does not eliminate every kind of dispute or guarantee approval.
