eGuide IaaS vs. SaaS payment orchestration for streaming

Download the eGuide and learn how to tap into a $60 billion market

The payments landscape is riddled with complexities, and while payment orchestration platforms and layers have been developed to try and help combat this, selecting the right partner or method – should a streaming platform choose to build a layer in-house – can feel like more of a hindrance.

For streaming providers without a POP, relying on a single payment provider or juggling multiple providers that are not integrated with each other can be an easily avoided headache. An orchestration layer – whether it is outsourced or built in-house – optimizes payment processing at each stage of the payment flow for online transactions, minimizing the number of failed transactions due to technical issues and allowing merchants to save costs.

This eGuide will cover the core differences between Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) payment orchestration providers versus Infrastructure-asa-Service (IaaS) providers, and building an orchestration layer in-house, taking into consideration the goals of streaming platforms and how each service may be aligned, including:

  • An introduction to payment orchestration
  • How a streaming provider can build a payment orchestration layer in-house, with insights from the consulting group, RPGC and a number of payment orchestration providers
