Merchant gateways are generally preferred over Non-Merchant gateways as they allow the user to subscribe for automatic payment processing. Some Non-Merchant gateways support subscription based payments, but these payments are initiated from the payment gateway rather than by Blesta, so they don't make a good fit for user with multiple services recurring at different intervalintervals.

The terms "Merchant gateway" and "Non-Merchant gateway" were coined by the Blesta development team just prior to the initial launch of version 1.0 in 2007. The word "merchant" refers to the requirement of a Merchant Account to process payments. |
