Payment pre-flight

Describe who pays whom, for what, and where. See where that lands against typical processor restriction patterns before you build, then send the provider a request for written confirmation.

Hand-curated snapshot, dated 2026-10-04. Not legal advice. Rules are editorial judgements of common patterns, not any provider's actual policy. Processors below are anonymised archetypes, not named companies. Scripted rules, no model, no live lookups.

Written-confirmation request (editable)

What this is not. A scripted rule table over a snapshot dated 2026-10-04. Real processor policies change, differ by country and are applied case by case; only the provider's written reply counts. Keeping the table accurate is ongoing editorial work this mockup does not do. Nothing here is submitted anywhere.
