# What are operating modes in my payment driver?

There are two modes a gateway can operate:

- `ECOM`– a standard ecommerce online transaction, typically originating from the storefront - `MOTO`– a transaction that is taken via telephone or through the mail, typically originating from the backend admin 

As the processing environment differs when the customer isn't present (i.e. no 3D-secure for telephone orders), stores may require different merchant credentials for each mode.

## ECOM mode

In order to indicate the gateway supports processing storefront orders, ensure the `Aero\Payment\SupportsEcomMode`trait is used.

## MOTO mode

In order to indicate the gateway supports processing telephone and mail orders, ensure the `Aero\Payment\SupportsMotoMode`trait is used.
