In association with leading international publications, East-West Digital News presents a series of expert analysis and thought leadership pieces to shed light on global e-commerce and e-payment trends and prospects. This first article by ThePaypers is an analysis of the global landscape of solution providers, which highlights the salient differences that currently exist between them.
As the payments value chain is maturing, retail prices for online payments are steadily dropping, while the level of service offered to merchants is only increasing. Consequently, players aim to gain scale and increase capabilities through strategic acquisitions, constantly changing and reshaping the payments ecosystem. We aim to describe the global solution provider space today and to define the capabilities offered by the different participants in the ecosystem.
In such a diverse ecosystem, it can be daunting to try to gain insights regarding the entire payments ecosystem. Therefore, since 2017 we have published comprehensive overviews of the solution provider space, in order to provide a better understanding of the intricacies of the market and the players that it contains. We have conducted in-depth analysis of the key global, international, and regional players, and mapped them accordingly based on several core variables. On top of this, the findings of our research are accompanied by a glossary of the jargon and terms used in the industry.
