Unified Payment Data Schema

A standard data framework used by a payment platform to normalize transaction and settlement information (e.g., card data, currency, fees, chargeback codes) across multiple payment providers and rails into a single schema. This enables unified reporting, analytics, faster reconciliation, easier regulatory compliance, and smoother data integration with downstream systems (e.g., accounting, BI, risk).
