It isn't a payment processor it is an API to payment processors such
as CyberCash, Authorize.Net, Signio/Verisign, iBILL etc... Basically
you make an SQL call to a driver instead of a database and that makes
the call out to the payment processor. The eliminates the complexity
in dealing with the payment processors. Sometimes the integration
with them is easy and sometimes it is a royal pain. This makes the
integration the same for all of them so you simply switch drivers to
switch payment processors. You could build a failover system so if
the one you mainly use goes down for some reason you could build in
logic to switch to another one quite easily.
