- Supporting various business models: Payment pages are used across a wide range of businesses, from e-commerce stores selling physical products to service providers collecting fees, non-profits accepting donations, and event organizers selling tickets.
- Facilitating different transaction types: They can handle one-time payments, recurring subscriptions, and even pre-authorized payments.
