The technical architecture of a MATCH list cryptocurrency payment gateway built by 27 Blockchain consists of several layers that work together to provide complete payment acceptance functionality. The connection layer handles the API integration between the merchant's checkout system and the gateway, managing the request-response cycle for payment initiation, status queries, and confirmation signals. The wallet layer manages the receiving address infrastructure, generating unique addresses for each transaction or session and associating confirmed transactions with the corresponding merchant orders. The blockchain monitoring layer watches the network for transactions to the generated addresses and triggers confirmation events when the required number of block confirmations is reached.
The settlement layer converts confirmed cryptocurrency transactions to fiat currency on the schedule and at the terms established during the integration planning process. The security layer runs across all other layers, applying encryption to data in transit and at rest, multi-signature controls to wallet operations, and monitoring to transaction patterns. The integration layer connects the gateway's output, confirmed transaction records and settlement reports, to the merchant's existing order management, accounting, and reporting systems. Each layer is configured during the integration build to fit the merchant's specific technical environment rather than applied as a standard configuration that the merchant adapts around.
