Become a Lloyds™ Merchant with this Checklist

Whether you’re looking to switch from your current online payment provider, or you’re new to accepting payments online, we understand that it’s a complex field to navigate.

Here’s a list of things to consider before choosing Lloyds for your online payment gateway – no hard sell, just an informative checklist and the information you need to make a decision!

About Lloyds as an acquirer

Lloyds is a trusted multi-channel acquirer that allows businesses to accept payments in-person and online. Their online payment gateway solution supports all major debit and credit cards, as well as digital wallets (ApplePay & GooglePay), with built-in 3DS fraud protection and PCI DSS compliance, taking some of that stress away from merchants.

Accepting online payments

For online payments, merchants need a way to connect their Lloyds payment gateway with their website, this is where a payment plugin comes in. Payment plugins enable a business’ payment gateway to talk to their website allowing a customer to make a payment securely and effortlessly. Autify Digital has built a number of payment gateway solutions that work with Lloyds. These include plugins compatible with WooCommerce, WordPress, Magento, Drupal, OpenCart and PrestaShop.
