Payment processors

Payment processors handle the checkout step of an online store or a donation and subscription page: card acceptance, digital wallets and gateways. The category includes PayPal, Stripe, authorize.net, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay, the pay-later options Klarna Checkout and Afterpay, and the card brands Visa, Mastercard and American Express, which are detected from the acceptance logos a store displays. A site with a payment processor takes money online, which is a direct commercial signal. The list is useful for competing payment providers and merchant account resellers, fraud prevention and chargeback services, buy-now-pay-later and subscription billing vendors, and ecommerce agencies.
