Full Transcript

This concept explains how payments enable monetization. First, a user selects a product or service they want. Then, the user makes a payment. The business confirms the payment to ensure money is received. After confirmation, the business delivers the product or service to the user. This process results in the business earning revenue. The earned revenue allows the business to invest in growth and improvements. If payment is not made, the business does not deliver the product and does not earn revenue. Thus, payments are essential for monetization.
