The chosen solution must be able to handle current transaction volumes efficiently and scale seamlessly to accommodate future growth without compromising speed or reliability.
Understand the total cost of ownership, including transaction fees, setup fees, monthly fees, chargeback fees, and any additional costs for premium features. Transparency in pricing is crucial.
