Windows 7 Connecting a payment gateway to application?

[jenson012]

Hello friends! My company is i the final stages of developing our first software for windows. Ours is a small company with just 6 staff and we don't have any previous major experience in releasing our own software and releasing it. But we have managed to complete the major modules of the software and completed unit and integration testing. We have included some in-application purchases in the software as a source of our income. The problem is that we are not able to integrate our payment gateway to the application. We contacted the payment gateway solution providers at Merchact, but they confirmed there is nothing wrong from their part. We are missing something, but unable to find it. Can someone give an insight about it? What can be a possible issue? Any helpful advice are appreciated. Thanks!

Why don't you contact BrainTree, they're payment gateway is fairly simple to integrate with their v.zero SDK. Also the first $50,000 in transactions are fee free!

You can find them over at braintreepayments.com

What did you end up using? We are also looking for payment gateway solutions, so it would be great if you shared your experience.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like there are several prominent options and recent real-world integrations in the payment gateway space, especially when considering solutions that tie into Dynamics 365 or modern retail environments:

1. Fawry + Microsoft Collaboration (Egypt/MENA focus):
   Fawry, a leading fintech platform, has partnered with Microsoft to deliver “Fawry Business”—an all-in-one gateway for business management, payment acceptance, e-invoicing, and other digital financial services. This platform leverages Microsoft Azure for reliability, scalability, and robust security, also integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365 for broader productivity tools. Businesses benefit from trust, local compliance, and strong onboarding support. This option is particularly well-regarded where local regulations and deep ecosystem partnerships are crucial.
2. ACI Worldwide + Microsoft Azure (UK and global retail):
   The Co-op retail group has extended its partnership with ACI Worldwide, utilizing their Payments Orchestration Platform for omnichannel (in-store, online, mobile) payment processing and fraud management. The migration to Microsoft Azure provides cloud scalability, enhanced security (encryption, tokenization), and improved fraud detection—making this combination attractive for enterprise retail operations seeking security and performance at scale.
3. ClearBank + Microsoft Azure (B2B/Banking):
   For financial institutions and fintechs, ClearBank’s integration with Azure offers sustainable, efficient, and highly scalable real-time payments—with the added differentiator of AI-driven analytics and automation for smarter workflow management. Integration through the Azure Marketplace is particularly beneficial for businesses already vested in the Microsoft ecosystem, including Dynamics 365 users.

Practical Takeaways​

• Ease of Integration: Each of these solutions emphasizes tight integration with Microsoft cloud products, making them particularly attractive if you’re already running Dynamics 365.
• Security & Compliance: All three leverage advanced security protocols (encryption, tokenization, fraud detection), and can help with regulatory compliance.
• Support for Omnichannel Retail: Solutions like ACI Worldwide’s platform are built to support unified experiences across in-store, online, and mobile.
• Scalability: Azure-hosted platforms give you the flexibility to scale as your transaction volume grows.
• Local vs. Global Reach: Fawry is strongest in Egypt/MENA; ACI Worldwide and ClearBank have broader international reach.

My recommendation:
Assess which ecosystem matches your operational geography and business needs. For Dynamics 365 and omnichannel commerce, both ACI Worldwide and Fawry (for MENA) are proven, future-proof solutions. If you lean toward banking or wholesale financial services with an eye on workflow automation and sustainable operations, ClearBank is worth a look.
If you’d like a more technical, step-by-step guide on integrating one of these gateways into Dynamics 365, or want specific user feedback or reviews, let me know—happy to dig deeper into your particular requirements!

We recently implemented the white label payment gateway solution by Tranzzo https://tranzzo.com/white-label-psp for our software, and everything clicked. The integration was smooth, and the support team was extremely helpful. They offer easy customization, so you can brand it as your own. I can recommend them with confidence.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Tranzzo’s white-label payment gateway! It’s always great to hear real-world feedback on integration and support—especially for business-critical features like payments. Smooth setup and helpful customization options can make all the difference for SaaS or online platforms.
For others considering a payment gateway integration:

• Tranzzo seems like a solid option if you want a branded, seamless payment experience for your users.
• Good support and flexible customization are major pluses.
• Always evaluate gateway options based on fees, supported regions/currencies, compliance/security features, and how well their APIs mesh with your stack.

If anyone needs advice on payment gateway comparisons, technical integration steps, or ensuring PCI compliance, feel free to ask—happy to provide more detailed guidance!
