Payment Gateways

It’s always important to provide a streamlined checkout experience for your customers, especially during the busy period between Black Friday and the New Year.


A big part of this is choosing a payment gateway that is easy to use, but you’ll also want to ensure that you are choosing the right payment gateway to maximise your profits.


EKM-Pay offers the lowest rates available on EKM, from 1.4% + 20p (plus VAT).

Paid Ads

The best and most successful online shops know that marketing your products through paid advertising is one of the true keys to success.
