Payments as a service is a way for businesses to get help accepting payments from customers. Instead of a business having to do all of the work to collect payments from customers themselves (using their own tools and systems) they can use a company that provides payments services. These companies make it easier for businesses by providing the tools they need to securely and easily accept payments from customers. The company providing the payment service will handle the processing of payments, making the payments secure, and helping to make sure the transaction goes through smoothly. This helps businesses save time and money because they don't have to do the work themselves.
