The unending Merchant of Record

Over the years, the Merchant of Record (MoR) model has resurfaced repeatedly in the payments industry, driven by evolving regulations, global tax requirements, and the growing complexity of compliance obligations. Initially overshadowed by third-party processors and payment service providers, the MoR structure is reemerging as a strategic solution for e-commerce businesses seeking to streamline their billing and reduce operational overhead. By taking legal responsibility for the sale, MoR providers handle tax calculations, currency conversions, and liability management, simplifying processes for merchants across multiple markets.

This renewed interest underscores the benefits of a single entity managing the entire transaction flow while enabling merchants to focus on core business functions. However, adopting a MoR approach requires careful consideration of factors such as technological integration, cost structures, and regional regulations. With a close eye on money transmission concerns.  Collaboration with a knowledgeable partner is essential to ensure seamless implementation and ongoing support.
