Abstract: Real-time data capture and distribution for e-commerce payment transactions which includes receiving, at a secure gateway, a payment transaction request sent from a virtual terminal of a customer website via a network. The payment transaction request includes a merchant identifier associated with the virtual terminal. The payment transaction data is stored in a database accessible by the secure gateway. The payment transaction data is sent from the secure gateway to be stored by a merchant data capture service in association with the merchant identifier. A customer data portal executing on a customer device retrieves the payment transaction data from the merchant data capture service based on the merchant identifier. The payment transaction data is presented on the customer device by the customer data portal.
