But who actually processes payment? Is it stipe, bolt or some other payment processor?

How can any of this work without dealing with credit card payment processors

Calling it a payment processor is a bit of an issue. The term "payment processor" has a very specific meaning in the world of online payments, and this isn't it.

This is a frontend for Stripe, so it's even a bit of a stretch to call it a Payment Service Provider. Payment gateway maybe, but really it's a Stripe frontend.

Under the hood we are using Stripe to process the payments, but you set up a Stripe sub account through our platform using Stripe Connect

  • I was wondering what the catch was, seemed pretty lightweight to be a payment processor. My first thought reading the setup guide was "what no HSMs?"
