A merchant of record is an entity that assumes responsibility for processing and managing financial transactions on behalf of another business or individual. They handle payment processing and compliance with legal and financial regulations. They may provide additional services such as fraud prevention and reporting, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations without the complexity of payment processing.
