What is Payment?
Payment is a general payment platform which allows other modules to use any of the payment methods that plug into Payment. With Payment we only need one one Paypal, one credit card and one iDEAL module to use with every single webshop or payment form that you want (applies to any payment method that works with Payment). This shortens development time and improves support, because only one instead of three Paypal modules need to be maintained, and simplifies UX, because all payment (method) information is now located in one place.

Differences between Payment and Pay
"But we already have Pay!", you say. This is right. Payment is the continued development of iDEAL, with the iDEAL-specific code stripped out and a bunch of improvements, which are also based on experience with Drupal Commerce. It takes a different approach to be more light-weight and flexible than Pay is. Some differences:
- Pluggable payment status information
- Strict separation between API and UI
- Strict separation between API and specific payment methods
- Extensive developer documentation (workflow diagrams exist, but need to be added/published)
- More integration with core and other contributed modules
- More test coverage
