I've never done a survey, but just anecdotally most sites I've encountered seem to not be usi…
> How do you find out what payment processor(s) a given site uses? I'm a developer so looking at what kind of request the application is doing when interacting with anything involving payments. In the case of OnlyFans it was easy as they make direct requests to Stripe. In other cases, I've looked at the data structures stored in the current page by using the JS console and compare it to the API docs of various paymen…
