💳 Card Payment Methods

Card payments remain one of the most popular ways to accept online transactions, offering broad reach, convenience, and familiarity for consumers.
Unlike account-to-account transfers, card payments rely on international card networks, supporting a seamless experience across regions and currencies.

With Orkestra, you can easily process card payments — including credit and debit cards — through a unified API, leveraging local and international acquirers with high acceptance rates and security standards.

🚀 Why Card Payments?

Global Reach: Accept payments from customers worldwide with major card brands.

Customer Familiarity: Cards are still the preferred payment method for many online shoppers.

Built-in Protections: Card payments benefit from established dispute resolution and fraud prevention mechanisms.

Fast Authorizations: Payments are authorized in real-time, giving instant feedback to customers.

🧹 How Card Payments Work

  1. Merchant collects the customer’s card details securely.
  2. Orkestra processes the authorization request with the card network.
  3. Depending on the card and risk configuration, 3D Secure authentication may be triggered.
  4. Upon authorization, the merchant can capture funds immediately or later, depending on the capture strategy.
