In this regard, Visa has also teamed up with companies like Linktree, Marqeta, Rutter and SamCart to work on creator commerce solutions. 

Linktree CEO and co-founder Alex Zaccaria said: “Providing creators with new tools, resources and avenues to make money from their work online is more important than ever.

“Linktree is proud to join forces with Visa to help creators unlock greater potential and opportunity and to empower all creators to curate, grow and monetise their world.” The latest initiative follows the recent launch of The Visa Creator Program, a one-year programme to train creators on monetising their creativity using new technologies.
