What it is
Cybersource Global Payment Gateway processes online credit and debit card payments for businesses. It connects to more than 200 acquirers and processors in over 160 countries and territories, and accepts payments in over 50 currencies. Supported methods include cards, digital wallets, eWallets, bank transfers, and installment payments. Merchants can embed a secure checkout, send customers to a hosted checkout page, or use Microform for card entry. Sensitive payment data can bypass the merchant's network and be held in secure Visa data centers. Cybersource identifies itself as a Level 1 PCI Service Provider and says its services can reduce PCI DSS scope. Its fraud tools use machine learning and AI to detect fraud and update data models as market trends shift. Developers can access APIs, SDKs, client libraries, testing guides, sandbox testing, and sample code. The gateway supports recurring and marketplace payments. Pricing is available on request. Cybersource says its gateway has 99.999% uptime and that the Visa network can handle 8,000 transactions per second.
