Datacom also implements security best practices to international standards, resulting in our pay systems and data centres achieving other third-party certifications:
A payment gateway is a secure online tool that connects your website, point-of-sale system or app to banks and payment networks. It validates payments and securely transmits customer data so you can accept credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, and even Buy Now Pay Later options from Australian or overseas customers.
Payment gateways deliver fast, secure transactions, help meet PCI DSS compliance, enable multiple payment options (including EFTPOS and BPAY), improve customer experience, automate reconciliation, reduce fraud, and support integration with your Australian accounting or sales systems.
Australian businesses should choose PCI DSS–compliant gateways with strong security, encryption, fraud detection, multi-factor authentication, and monitoring. Keep payment software updated and provide staff training to ensure secure handling of customer payment data in line with local financial regulations.
Challenges include connecting with existing eCommerce and accounting platforms, supporting all preferred payment types, migrating data, complying with Australian Consumer Law, and minimising downtime. Some organisations may need specialist IT support or custom development to achieve desired integration.
Payment gateways centralise payments and automate reconciliation, reducing manual processing and negotiation costs. By handling high volumes through one provider, businesses can access better rates, volume discounts, and avoid duplicate bank fees — with batch processing, local settlements, and smart routing further reducing costs and admin burden.
Advanced security features and data analytics support compliance and help identify additional cost-saving opportunities, making payment processing more efficient and affordable for large organisations.
Prioritise PCI DSS compliance, robust fraud prevention, support for EFTPOS and Australian cards, integration with major banks, local settlement, APIs for custom integration, transparent pricing, and responsive AU-based customer support. Look for payment gateways that support popular local methods and multi-currency options if selling internationally.
