Digital River World Payments

Founded in 1994, Digital River provides global e-commerce, payment, and marketing services. The company acts as a "merchant of record," which means it takes on the financial and legal responsibilities of selling online for its clients, including payment processing, tax calculation and remittance, fraud management, and regulatory compliance. This comprehensive model allows B2B and B2C brands, particularly in software, gaming, and consumer electronics, to simplify the complexities of global expansion and focus on their core products while Digital River handles the transactional infrastructure.
