Understanding Your Payment Stack
For many teams, the terms blur together. A gateway routes requests, a processor moves money, and an acquiring bank underwrites risk and settles funds. Map responsibilities, reduce confusion, and negotiate smarter. Comment with your current setup and what still puzzles your team.
Knowing when cash arrives matters for payroll and inventory. Ask about settlement cycles, weekend funding, reserves, and rolling holds. Share how delays have affected your planning and what buffer strategies actually worked in your business.
Selling globally introduces conversion fees, scheme rules, and regional risk checks. Consider dynamic currency conversion carefully. Compare provider FX spreads, and invite your finance teammates to validate assumptions. Tell us which markets challenged your rollout the most.
Security and Compliance Without the Headache
