You don’t need that intermediate table in your models, django will build that for you behind the scenes.

#models.py
class PaymentProcessor(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=75)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

class Site(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=75)
    link = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    payment_processors = models.ManyToManyField(PaymentProcessor, null=True, blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

And then in the view you just need to get the site_list, because you can get the payment processors from the site object:

#views.py
def home(request):
    site_list = Site.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'index.html',
        {'site_list': site_list})

Finally in the template you loop through the ManyToMany object with the all function, and there ya have it!

#index.html
{% for site in site_list %}
    {{ site }}:
    {% for p in site.payment_processors.all %}
        {{ p }}
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
