How do you accept Satispay through OrsunPay?
OrsunPay is a payment orchestration platform: you keep your own contracts with licensed providers (for example Stripe, Adyen or Worldpay), and OrsunPay is not a payment institution, acquirer or merchant of record and does not hold or transmit funds. Satispay is available through OrsunPay: you connect a provider that supports it, it appears in the hosted checkout and payment links, and payment confirmations arrive by webhook.
