The Payment Gateway allows Bento Box to interface with a number of different payment providers via a single clean API. The gateway handles all communication with the payment provider so that switching provider is a simple as selecting a new provider and configuring their API credentials.
Key Concepts

Transactions
A Transaction represents a payment, it has details on its current state and contains all history associated with that payment e.g. pre-authorisation attempts, capturing status, and refunds. More details can be found in Transaction History.
