How do ISVs and ISOs differ?
An Independent Software Vendor (ISV) develops and sells software solutions, which could require a payment processing component. An Independent Sales Organization (ISO) focuses on reselling the services that merchants need in order to accept payments. An ISV is usually focused on their software and technology while an ISO is a third-party provider to a payment processor.
