What’s the difference between a Payment Gateway and a Merchant Account?

An Authorize.Net Payment Gateway Account is the communication tool that enables you to authorize, settle and manage credit card and electronic check payments.

A Merchant Account is a bank account that is used specifically for the purpose of collecting proceeds from bank account and credit card payment transactions. A Card Not Present (CNP) merchant account is used by merchants who receive payments electronically or in situations where payment is not physically presented to the merchant by the consumer at the time of the transaction. A Card Present (CP) merchant account is used by merchants who receive payments in a physical location, where payment is physically presented to the merchant by the customer at the time of the transaction.
