Rationale
Zip offers a 'Buy Now, Pay Later' service that facilitates payments for consumers and businesses. While it doesn't offer the full suite of payment processing services like Stripe (e.g., direct credit card processing without an installment plan), it does handle payment processing for merchants by enabling customers to pay in installments. It provides developer APIs and documentation for integration, offers reporting and analytics for merchants, and includes fraud protection. It supports both online and in-person payments through its app and virtual/physical cards. However, it lacks explicit features for recurring billing/subscription management as its core offering is installment payments for individual purchases, and it doesn't offer global payment methods in the same comprehensive way as Stripe, being focused on US purchases.
