Another e-commerce payment platform has emerged in the form of Plastiq, a Boston-based startup that enables online shoppers to pay for their purchases by credit card. What sets this company apart from other online payment hubs is its focus on larger-scale transactions that normally require payment in the form of cash or check, such as tuition, cars, donations, taxes or real estate transactions. The recent round of funding was led by Atlas Ventures and Flybridge Capital Partners, with participation from NextView Ventures, Greenoaks Capital and Harvey Golub, the former chairman and CEO of American Express.
