What is Payment Processing?
Payment Processing tools in web3 enable the acceptance, routing, and settlement of digital asset transactions. These tools include payment gateways, invoicing systems, fiat-to-crypto onramps, and merchant services that facilitate seamless transfers of cryptocurrencies or tokens. They primarily serve developers building dapps, marketplaces, and platforms that require integrated payment solutions for users and businesses. Key characteristics of these tools include support for multiple cryptocurrencies, real-time transaction confirmation, compliance with regulatory standards, and integration with traditional payment rails. Subcategories often include fiat-crypto gateways and crypto invoicing solutions. Developers should consider these tools when they need to handle user payments, automate billing, or bridge between fiat and crypto currencies within their applications.
