Payment service provider

Also known as: PSP

A payment service provider (PSP) offers services for making or receiving payments. It can be a bank, payment institution or electronic money institution.[1] In ecommerce, PSP often refers to the provider exposing multiple payment methods. A gateway is a technical function rather than necessarily the entire service.[2]

Compare the functions actually covered: acceptance, refunds, reporting and payouts can be arranged differently. Establish who settles funds and handles failures. A long list of methods says little about integration with order accounting. This definition does not confirm any particular provider's licensing or availability.
