Editorial TransparencyWe earn commission on processor sign-ups through our links. This doesn't affect our ratings or editorial independence.
How we're paid
When you click through to a processor's site from our comparison tables and open an account, we may receive a one-time referral fee or a share of merchant fees.
How we rate
Ratings come from our editorial team using a fixed scoring rubric — pricing transparency, contract terms, support quality, and integration depth. Compensation is never an input.
GoFlowPay maintains affiliate partnerships with a subset of the payment processors we review. When a reader signs up with one of these processors through a link on our site, we may receive a referral commission at no additional cost to the merchant.
Our review and ratings team operates independently of our partnerships team. Editors do not see commission rates, and partnership status has no bearing on a processor's rank, score, or featured placement. Processors we have no affiliate relationship with appear alongside — and often above — those we do.
We disclose every commercial relationship on individual review pages and update our disclosures quarterly. For the full breakdown of our scoring rubric and editorial policies, see our review methodology and editorial standards.

Payments are changing faster than most small business owners can track — embedded finance, real-time rails, and wallet-first checkout. "The Money Revolution" by Sergey Tsabolov aims to give operators a working mental model of where fintech is going. Here is whether it is worth your time.
What It Covers — ~$22
The book surveys the modern fintech landscape: digital wallets, real-time payments, embedded finance, and how these shifts change what customers expect at checkout. It is written for a business audience, not engineers.
Strengths
- Big-picture clarity: Connects trends to concrete checkout decisions a shop owner actually makes.
- Wallet-first thinking: Explains why mobile-wallet acceptance is now table stakes, not a nice-to-have.
- Readable: Minimal jargon, good for non-technical owners.
Weaknesses
- Broad rather than deep — do not expect implementation detail.
- Some examples will age as the space moves fast.
- Light on small-merchant specifics versus enterprise fintech.
Who Should Read It
Best for an owner who wants to understand why contactless, wallets, and embedded payments matter before making hardware and processor decisions. If you want a how-to manual, pair it with a hands-on processing guide.
FAQ
Is it technical? No — it is strategic and conceptual.
Will it tell me which processor to pick? Not directly; it gives you the framework to evaluate one.
Is it current? The trends are current; specific company examples may date.
Bottom Line
At about $22, it is a solid strategic primer for owners who want context before spending on payment tech. Pair it with a tactical processing guide and you have both the why and the how.
