If you pay with a credit card at a grocery store, your

9. ONLINE PAYMENT PROCESSORS
Credit card companies and online payment processors in
turn make a profit for their services by taking a small
percentage of the total transaction for their role in
managing it. Our society used to be cash- and-carry only.
Now we have a myriad of choices when it comes to
payment options for our transactions.
