What is a credit card gateway?

A credit card gateway, often referred to simply as a gateway, is a way for a transaction to get from your store to your processor. The term "gateway" is most often used in reference to TCP/IP, or internet, gateways. In a broader sense a telephone line on dial machines can be thought of as the gateway, but the typical gateway has added features like authentication (User name and passwords or IP Authentication).
