HBL Internet Payment Gateway FAQS
Introduction & Specification

Q: What is the Internet Payment Gateway?
A: A payment gateway facilitates a payment transaction by the transfer of information between a
payment portal (such as a website, mobile phone or interactive voice response service) and the front
end processor or acquiring bank.
Q: How does Internet Payment Gateway work?

A: In the online payment process, merchants (seller) receive payments via the Internet or in
situations when a payment is not physically presented to the merchant by the customer (buyer) at
the time of the transaction.
The diagram below illustrates the flow of payment information and funds from a merchant’s website
to their bank account.
The following steps explain how funds are transferred to your bank account when customer pays
through credit or debit card:
1. A customer submits the credit/debit card transaction to the Payment Gateway via a secure
connection from your website.
2. Payment Gateway receives the secure transaction information and passes it via a secure
connection to your bank’s processor (a financial partner that provides credit
card processing on behalf of the credit card associations, for example, Visa or Master
Card).
3. Your bank’s processor submits the transaction to the Credit/Debit Card Interchange (a
network of financial entities that communicate to manage the processing, clearing, and
settlement of credit card transactions).
4. The Credit/Debit Card Interchange routes the transaction to your customer’s Credit/Debit
Card Issuer.
5. The Credit/Debit Card Issuer approves or declines the transaction based on the customer’s
available funds and passes the transaction results back through the Credit/Debit Card
Interchange.
6. The Credit/Debit Card Interchange relays the transaction results to your bank’s processor.
7. Your bank’s processor relays the transaction results to the Payment Gateway.
8. Payment Gateway stores the transaction results and sends them to you and/or
your customer.
9. Payment for successful transaction will be made by the bank in the merchant’s designated
bank account
