System and method for adaptively processing financial payments. A payment provider service obtains verification of information for approval of an electronic payment in a web-based sale. A payment gateway includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a series of program steps and a database which stores rules applicable to transactions. Execution of the program steps implements a compliance and payment process, based on compliance rules and funds approval of the transaction. Execution of the compliance and payment process provides a decision whether to block or authorize the transaction. When the compliance and payment process provides a decision to authorize a transaction, the program steps provide a request to the payment provider service for transfer of electronic funds to provide the seller's payment.
