How difficult is it to build a payment gateway? As someone who is new to this area, I’m looking to develop an online shopping site that incorporates a payment gateway. I have no prior experience and my intention is to utilize Paymongo for this task. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
That’s a great question, especially for someone diving into the world of ecommerce! Creating a payment gateway from scratch can be quite complex, mainly due to the security and regulatory requirements involved. But since you mentioned using something like Paymongo, the process will likely be much more straightforward for integration rather than building from the ground up.
I’m curious, what has led you to choose Paymongo? Is it the features, pricing, or maybe they support local payment methods that you find appealing? Also, have you considered other options like Stripe or PayPal, and what factors have influenced your decision?
When integrating a payment service, it’s crucial to look into the support documentation and community around it. These resources can be invaluable to a beginner. Have you looked at Paymongo’s API documentation yet? How user-friendly does it seem to you?
I’m really eager to learn about your journey and choices. Whenever you face any roadblocks or have more questions, don’t hesitate to share them here. I’m sure the community will be more than happy to help explore solutions together!
building one from scratch can def be challenging bcus of all the security n regulation stuff. but if you’re using services like Paymongo, it’s easier - just need to follow their guides! Make sure to check their API details n see if it fits your needs well!
