How key sectors in Türkiye use payment gateway & PSP integration
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for E-commerce
E-commerce businesses in Türkiye usually need fast storefronts, omnichannel inventory, loyalty and frictionless checkout. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with 3ds2 & fraud rules (strong customer authentication with risk-based exemptions) and adds multi-psp orchestration as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on checkout conversion and stock accuracy.
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for Crypto
Crypto businesses in Türkiye usually need licence-ready custody, transaction monitoring, wallet security and clear user disclosures. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with reconciliation (settlement matching, fees and chargeback tracking in one ledger) and adds local payment methods as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on deposit-to-trade conversion and withdrawal processing time.
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for Gaming
Gaming businesses in Türkiye usually need scalable game backends, player wallets, live-ops tooling and anti-fraud controls. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with multi-psp orchestration (route by cost, currency and approval rate with automatic failover) and adds marketplace payouts as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on daily active players and retention day 7.
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for Manufacturing
Manufacturing businesses in Türkiye usually need production planning, quality traceability, machine data and supplier collaboration. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with local payment methods (pix, UPI, iDEAL, BLIK, Bizum, mada, KNET, M-Pesa and more) and adds subscriptions & invoicing as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on overall equipment effectiveness and scrap rate.
Payment Gateway & PSP Integration for Textiles
Textiles businesses in Türkiye usually need production planning, quality traceability, machine data and supplier collaboration. For them, our payment gateway & PSP integration typically starts with marketplace payouts (split payments, escrow, vendor onboarding and scheduled payouts) and adds 3ds2 & fraud rules as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on overall equipment effectiveness and scrap rate.
Example: payment gateway & PSP integration for a textiles business in Izmir
Consider a textiles company in Izmir (exporters, logistics and tourism). A typical payment gateway & PSP integration engagement would start with 3ds2 & fraud rules, then reconciliation, and finish the first release with multi-psp orchestration — usually within 2–4 weeks.
Payments would run through TROY, data would be handled under KVKK, and success would be measured on overall equipment effectiveness, scrap rate and order lead time.
Example: payment gateway & PSP integration for a crypto business in Eskişehir
Consider a crypto company in Eskişehir (aviation and rail industry). A typical payment gateway & PSP integration engagement would start with local payment methods, then marketplace payouts, and finish the first release with subscriptions & invoicing — usually within 2–4 months.
Payments would run through FAST, data would be handled under KVKK, and success would be measured on deposit-to-trade conversion, withdrawal processing time and share of assets in cold custody.

Regulators that can shape payment gateway & PSP integration in Türkiye
Because payment gateway & PSP integration often touches money or digital assets, these authorities matter. We design controls with their expectations in mind; licensing remains with your regulated entity.
