Abstract : The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to an increasing reliance on payment gateways for secure online transactions. To address vulnerabilities such as phishing and fraud, multifactor authentication (MFA) has emerged as a robust solution for ensuring the integrity and security of transactions. This paper explores the implementation of MFA in payment gateways, its impact on user experience, security protocols, and compliance with regulatory standards. A comparative analysis of popular MFA methods and a discussion of future trends, such as biometric authentication and blockchain integration, are also provided. Organizations are implementing wireless online payment applications to facilitate their global business expansion. This trend has heightened the demand for regulatory measures aimed at safeguarding sensitive information, particularly in the realm of internet-based financial transactions. Current internet authentication systems typically rely on either the web or mobile channels independently to verify the identity of remote users. This approach presents a vulnerability, as it depends solely on single-factor authentication, which is insufficient for ensuring the security of user data. Therefore, there is a pressing need for multifactor authentication solutions.

Keywords : Payment Gateway, Multifactor Authentication (MFA), Biometric Authentication.
