What Visa is.
Visa is a global card payment network connecting cardholders, issuing banks, merchants and acquirers. Customers can pay with Visa-branded credit, debit or prepaid cards they already use for everyday spending.
For merchants, Visa delivers a consistent core payment experience across domestic and international markets. The same credential can support a one-time purchase, a saved-card checkout or an agreed recurring payment relationship.
Visa also supports tokenised digital payments, helping merchants create faster returning-customer experiences while protecting the underlying card information.
Accept Visa with DaoPay.
DaoPay acts as the merchant acquirer for Visa payments. Through DaoPay, merchants can accept and process Visa transactions under one acquiring relationship, with DaoPay supporting the payment flow from authorisation through settlement and ongoing payment operations.
The customer enters a Visa credential and completes any authentication requested by the issuing bank.
The familiar card checkout, for one-time purchases across domestic and international markets.
With customer consent, a tokenised credential can support faster future purchases and one-click-style checkout.
Payment tokens stand in for the card details, streamlining returning-customer checkout.
The customer establishes a subscription or repeat-billing relationship and later payments follow the agreed schedule.
Stored-credential billing within scheme rules — for subscriptions, memberships and repeat services.
