     Definitions


A payment gateway is a software program that is embedded into a merchant's web site or mobile application for transmitting transaction data to the credit card acquirer, payment service provider or bank for authorization and settlement purposes.


An API (Application of Programming Interface) is a type of technical communication between servers, and a payment API refers to technical calls that enable the processing of a transaction. API Kit is a set of documentation and sample source code to generate payment links/gateway from your own system.


A chargeback is the forced reversal of a transaction by the credit card issuing bank. Chargebacks take place when we receive notification from our partner bank that the cardholder's card issuing bank has received a dispute notice from the cardholder, whose card had been charged by our merchants. In certain cases, defense is possible (e.g. order denial while delivery is completed indeed) given merchants are able to provide adequate evidence. In cases of fraudulent card usage, a chargeback is made immediately. Please note that excessive chargebacks may result in service terms revision, service suspension or even termination.


These are security features instituted by KNET, Visa International, MasterCard International, American Express International, and JCB International to protect online and mobile purchasing. It enhances the existing credit card with an additional personal password to be used to authenticate a genuine cardholder purchasing online. When a credit cardholder of these shops online, he/she will be required to enter the password or OTP received in his registred mobile in the same way as entering a PIN at an ATM. That means only the cardholder can use that card.
