What are the difficulties when payment processing is part of your Saas?

I've been toying around with an idea that involves sort of being a payment processor or marketplace for lack of a better term (think how Twitch, Buy me a coffee, Patreon etc. accept payment from many people on behalf of a creator and then pay out the creator while taking a fee or a rate).

I'm quite intimidated by the idea of all the different aspects of running something like this as a solo maker (nervous about security, customer support, etc.).

However, there are tools like stripe connect and a few other makers doing things like this (introvert.co, checkoutpage.co) and it seems to be easier than I imagine.

I'm interested in any thoughts, experiences, or tools that could help. Thanks!
