GIP Payment Gateway is a payment solution for online payments. It allows a customer to pay for goods or services online, directly from their account without the use of a card.
 
This solution leverages the GIP debit solution and requires the customer to present a pre-generated token (OTP) obtained from their bank or a token (OTP) provided to them by their bank during the checkout process, to authorize the debit to their account.

The merchant / biller receives an instant credit of the amount paid. This payment option is suited for large value transactions for example between a manufacturer and a wholesaler or Wholesaler and a retailer since it is an EFT directly from a bank account of the payer to the biller.

The collecting institution must have an online system for completing the order and a check-out to integrate into this service.

Participating banks must have certified with GhIPSS on GIP debit message processing
