ProPay's Payment Facilitator Model

As one of the original merchant aggregators, ProPay’s Payment Facilitator Program is uniquely suited to support the needs of SaaS platforms, software developers, service providers, community heads, online marketplaces, and business models requiring the functionality of merchant aggregation without the hassle and work of aggregating transactions in traditional processing environments.

 

While other companies sponsor and process transactions for Payment Facilitators, this is often the only service they deliver. ProPay provides you with secure payment processing solutions along with all the services necessary to operate a successful Payment Facilitator model.

ProFac Express Design Flexibility


At ProPay, we want to be your long-term payment facilitator business partner, not simply your transaction processor. The success of our clients begins with a consultative session with the ProPay team where we’ll discuss the goals of your business and your processing needs.

We’ll delve into how ProPay’s products and people can deliver a solution that meets your requirements while ensuring regulatory and card brand requirements are met. 

The ProPay team has years of experience in navigating the payment facilitator waters and works with you to not only choose, but understand, the options and decisions to best fit your business needs.
 

Our Team will cover the options for:

  • Registration
  • Liability
  • Branding
  • Merchant agreements
  • Risk modeling
  • Underwriting
  • Chargebacks
  • and all the other complexities associated with processing in a payment facilitator model

Branding, Online Application and Boarding

ProPay provides Payment Facilitators with APIs to create an online application, or the option to utilize our online, short-form merchant application to deliver an automated boarding process. We’ve simplified the terms and conditions along with the information collected on the applications to make it quick and easy for you to get up and processing.

Since the first interaction with your customer is often the application, ensuring your customers encounter a convenient customer friendly application process that covers both your and ProPay’s services is critical for a successful payment facilitator program. We even provide you with co-branded landing pages and documentation to speed up your time to market.
 

Underwriting Services & Risk Management


Providing full-service underwriting and risk management as part of ProFac Express allows payment facilitators to focus on their technology and services knowing that ProPay is examining accounts from the initial approval process through the lifecycle. We offer everything from a Zero Liability Program up to a Full Liability Program depending on your business needs and we will help you every step of the way.

Underwriting rules and processes are defined early in the design process. ProPay has all the tools and experience necessary to meet federal, state and card brand requirements for payment processing.

Additionally, whether the product or service is delivered digitally, physically or distributed through complex sales environments, the ability to define both the customer and the business rules helps in establishing processing parameters.

Parameters such as transaction thresholds, average ticket, shipping time frames and other items are defined and monitored on a routine basis. We’ll even hold deposits or establish reserves dependent upon suspicious or unusual activity.
