Hi Anta

I'm (among other things) a fintech consultant specializing in payments; my company primarily works with Stripe, sometimes with Adyen/Worldpay/Xsolla.

Like you said, payments orchestration is nothing new. What differentiates you from any other middleman in the field?

I'll give you one example as a test scenario: A current client of mine is a small business incorporated in the US, doing business in both the US and South Korea with $10/mo subscriptions. They want to offer native South Korean payment methods in SK such as KakaoPay and Samsung Pay. I've had to set them up with Smart2pay (Nuvei) because, after months of negotiations, Adyen wouldn't take a contract with them because they're too small a fish to care about. In the US, they offer Paypal and Stripe but their current gateway middleman (Uscreen) takes an obscene cut and doesn't offer good subscription management features to make up for it.

Their current payment stack is inconsistent, hard to manage, lacks lots of admin features and costs them more than it should. If you can do something for them, I'll be super impressed :) (Email in my profile!)
