A Payment Facilitator (Stripe, Square, PayPal Commerce) processes payments under their merchant ID — but the brand remains the legal seller and is responsible for tax, compliance, and product liability. A Merchant of Record is the legal seller. They register for VAT, file taxes, and carry consumer-law exposure on the brand's behalf. A PayFac handles payments only; a MoR handles the entire commerce stack.
