PayHalal is a Islamic payment gateway for the Islamic ecommerce service that processes payments from CASA e Money Debit and credit payments for online and traditional brick and mortar stores.

PayHalal Payment Gateway fulfill a vital role in the Islamic ecommerce transaction process, authorizing the payment between merchant and customer.
PayHalal payment data processor analyzes and transmits transaction data. PayHalal Payment gateways authorizes the transfer of funds between buyers and sellers.
How PayHalal payment gateways work
When a customer places an order from an online Islamic store, PayHalal performs several tasks to finalize the transaction:
• Encryption: The web browser encrypts the data to be sent between it and the vendor’s web server. The gateway then sends the transaction data to the payment processor utilized by the vendor’s acquiring bank.
• Authorization Request: The payment processor sends the transaction data to a card association. The credit card’s issuing bank views the authorization request and “approves” or “denies.”
• Filling the Order: The processor then forwards an authorization pertaining to the merchant and consumer to the payment gateway. Once the gateway obtains this response, it transmits it to the website/interface to carry out the transaction . Here, it is interpreted and an appropriate response is generated. This seemingly complicated and lengthy process typically takes only a few seconds at most. At this point, the merchant fills the order.
Clearing Transactions
The steps outlined above are repeated in an effort to “clear” the authorization via a consummation of the transaction. However, the clearing is only triggered once the merchant has actually completed the transaction . The issuing bank changes the “auth-hold” to a debit, allowing a “settlement” with the vendor’s acquiring bank. The processor is then relied upon to settle all of the vendor’s approved authorizations with the acquiring bank at the end of the day.
