Hi Abigail,
Payment gateways allow you to collect payment from your customers. We support over a dozen payment gateways, so getting your merchant account connected is easy. Simply signup and integrate with your Recurly account.
Tip: Our gateway failover feature ensures that even if your primary gateway experiences an issue, we'll automatically route your payments to your selected backup gateway. This means no disruption for your subscribers and your payments. It's kind of like having a backup parachute.

Thanks so much,
Alex
