For platformsPayments inside your product, without becoming a payments company

Embedding payments is a question of how much of it you want to own. Building it yourself is a roadmap that never finishes. Becoming a payfac is a compliance program with staff attached. There is a third answer.

Build it, become it, or embed it.

All three get payments into your product. They differ in what you carry afterwards, which is the part that is hard to reverse.
