Flexible Partnership Programs
IIf you’re like many ISVs, you’ve either been with your current provider for years or have chosen to not offer integrated payments.
And, while the payments industry (and your business) has evolved by leaps and bounds, it’s likely your partnership structure has remained the same or it’s been a while since you’ve explored adding payments to your application.
Does your current setup still meet your needs, or could you be better served and better serve your users?
When selecting a payments partner, recognize that what you needed at inception, what you need today, and what you will need in 24 months are all likely different.
Select a partner with flexible program structures designed to evolve as you win business together.
Here are the structures your partner should support:
REFERRAL PARTNERSHIPS
Allow ISVs to stay focused on core business with a partner handling payments by your side. Referrals are sent to the payments partner and residuals from merchant transaction profits create a lucrative revenue stream.
MANAGED PAYFAC
Managed payment facilitation gives ISVs the perks of frictionless boarding and instant auto-approvals but leaves the risks, liabilities, and costs to the payments partner.
Traditional Payfac
ISVs who elect to become payment facilitators receive maximum revenue earning potential and are responsible for controlling sales and operations while also assuming all costs, risks, and responsibility for the entire payments process.
Iso Programs
Independent sales organization (ISO) programs allow you to market your solution directly to your customer base under your name for a cohesive customer experience.
ISVs rate Nuvei’s platform integration
80% simpler than their previous payment integrations.
After checking these boxes, dive in to understand what is required to transition between program structures.
Oftentimes, ISVs must integrate to different processing platforms—a disruptive and time-consuming process.
Look for a partner who supports all program types through a single platform to allow for easy transitions through all stages of program maturity.
