What GP webpay does

GP webpay is an internet payment gateway operated by Global Payments Europe s.r.o., a privately held Czech limited liability company headquartered in Prague (V Olšinách 626/80, 100 00 Prague, Strašnice). The gateway enables e-commerce merchants to accept card payments online from Mastercard, VISA, Diners Club, and American Express cards, with mandatory 3D Secure authentication, PCI DSS compliance audited by an independent international auditor, and settlement typically credited to the merchant's account on the next business day. Supporting features include Fastpay for rapid settlement, DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) for multi-currency presentation, recurring/one-click/token/usage-based payments via a WS API, and short payment links distributable via email, SMS, or invoice.

The product is built around two integration surfaces: a 3D-Secure HTTP API (with an extended ADDINFO parameter for TRA exemption) and a more feature-rich WS API covering processRecurringPayment, processTokenPayment, processCardOnFilePayment, processUsageBasedPayment, processUsageBasedSubscriptionPayment, processRegularSubscriptionPayment, and processPrepaidPayment methods. PHP and JAVA integration scripts and a separate testing environment are provided. The gateway is offered in 19 languages and accepts 7 currencies (CZK, EUR, USD, GBP, HUF, PLN, RUB), with a responsive web interface that adapts to the cardholder's browser language and screen size.

Distribution is exclusively through a bank-partner model: merchants must select one of 12+ acquiring banks (Global Payments s.r.o., Komerční banka, REVO, UniCredit Bank, and Fio Banka in the Czech Republic; Global Payments s.r.o. and ČSOB in Slovakia) and complete a 4-step onboarding process. Each partner bank sets its own pricing and contract terms based on merchant parameters, and GP webpay monetizes per-transaction. Acquisition channels also include 30+ pre-built native e-commerce platform plugins (Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopware, OXID eSales, OpenCart, Gambio, JoomShopping, VirtueMart, ZenCart, etc.), a documentation library, and a demo shop that doubles as a charity donation funnel.
