Rainforest helps software companies seamlessly integrate payments into their platforms, carving a niche across diverse sectors, from healthcare and field services to logistics and construction. Joshua shares the competitive edge that Rainforest provides by absorbing all the risk and liability, allowing software companies to focus on what they do best - writing software and serving their customers. This model is a significant departure from traditional payment facilitator models, and it's proving increasingly attractive to software companies.Small businesses are no longer procuring payments from their bank, but payments are embedded in the software they use to run their business.
