The solution is also backed with multiple payment options – credit cards, debit cards, cash cards, mobile payments and India's largest direct debit engine making it possible for merchants to accept payments on their website from the widest target audience. The flexibility of the CCAvenue solution has transformed this 7-year-old solution into South-Asia's No 1 payment gateway.
