What payment gateway means
Payment gateway: a service that lets a website accept card payments, such as Telr, PayTabs or Stripe.

How payment gateway applies to your company
For mainland companies, payment gateway matters because the economic department, immigration or the FTA uses it in mainland procedures. GoldenKey handles payment gateway as part of its company formation, visa and PRO services, so you rarely need to deal with it directly.
