In a Polymorphic Design, adding new payment methods requires ZERO changes to the existing processor logic. The system is "Open for Extension but Closed for Modification."

🏗️ Open-Closed Principle: You should be able to add new functionality without touching existing, tested code. Use Interfaces or Abstract Classes to create "pluggable" behavior.
