Gateways allow for the processing of one time or recurring payments and can be one of two types: Merchant, or Non-Merchant.

Gateways are separated into two categories: Merchant and Non-Merchant. Typically, Merchant gateways require a merchant account and payment is all handled seamlessly through Blesta. Non-Merchant gateways usually do not require a merchant account and payment is processed offsite on the gateways website.

This is not an exhaustive list of gateways for Blesta. This list contains the gateways that ship with Blesta, or can be found on our Github. There are many third party gateways, and some can be found on the Marketplace. We are also available to hire for custom development. If you're looking to create your own gateway, see Getting Started with Gateways in the developer manual.


To use a gateway, it first must be installed under [Settings] > [System] > [Payment Gateways] > Available. Once installed, the gateway can be configured and used. It will then be accessible under [Settings] > [System] > [Payment Gateways] > Installed by clicking the "Manage" button for the desired gateway.
