Abstract

This paper explores the pricing of ancillary payment services by platforms and its implications for welfare. We distinguish between two types of platforms: vertical platforms that operate their own closed payment schemes, and stacked platforms that offer payment services through open schemes operated by third parties. We analyze the impact of a regulation mandating platforms to provide access to third-party payment services and examine the regulation of interchange fees within the context of stacked platforms.
