Why is an online payment system required?

Protecting your liability

Many online payment systems are not adequate enough , working without proper authorization. No monitoring from public authorities, low fraud detection rate. Most likely the money spent by your clients will disappear. The association of card owners like Visa will start legal proceedings against your business for having processed stolen cards, not mentioning other issues like money laundering. On top of being sentenced to pay millions of euros to those card companies, your future businesses as you personally will be banned from receiving payments with cards (prepaid card, payments card, credit card), not only online, but even physically in your shop.

You will save your business millions of euros of investment, technical and human resources using SysPay: a professional payment system so you can focus on your core business.

Processing payments should be the only line of business of your service provider.

You may end up with both accounts frozen without any possibility to continue normal business.

A payment module is a piece of code that allows a shopping cart to interface with a payment gateway. This module typically handles tasks such as sending information about the customer and the purchase to the gateway, and then receiving and storing the response from the gateway.Security is often a concern with payment modules, since they may handle sensitive information such as credit card numbers.

As a result, many payment modules are designed to be as secure as possible, often using encryption to protect the data. In Europe, payment modules must also comply with the Payment Services Directive (PSD), which sets standards for security and other aspects of payment services.
