Frequently Asked Questions

Integrated payment processing refers to payment processing systems embedded within a specific software application. This allows end users to make purchases within the software solution itself, rather than exiting the platform to complete their sale through a third-party processing company.

An ISV is an Independent Software Vendor who provides software solutions for merchants and other businesses assisting them with managing their core business. An ISO is an Independent Sales Organization that provides credit card processing services independently from a financial firm or bank.

When selecting an integrated payment processor it is important to find one that fits your business needs. Finding a partner that will help drive customer satisfaction, increase retention, and drive customers through the business’s doors is critical. Other important things to consider when selecting a payment provider:

• The level of support and various resources provided (from integration support to sales and marketing support)
• Finding a partner that will help grow your business (this includes additional tools and services that go beyond payments to drive engagement, commerce and improve the overall experience for your customers)
• Advanced security services keeping developers and merchants out of PA-DSS scope (protecting credit card data, preventing counterfeit fraud, and enhancing payments security)
• A partner dedicated to maintaining an innovative technology stack (keeping up with the latest technology and trends in the payments ecosystem, including newer technologies like EMV and NFC)

• Saves time: avoids having to manually reconcile
• Increases revenue: adds a new, scalable revenue stream with an immediate impact on your bottom line
• Strengthens security: the right partner handles all aspects of security to protect you and your merchants
