Payment Facilitator Companies
A Payment Facilitator takes on the role of the Master Merchant. The primary benefit to becoming a Payment Facilitator is that you can quickly and easily enroll your app users and enable processing of credit, debit card and in some case ACH transactions .
As an example: A SaaS offers an invoicing solution eg QBooks. Businesses that want to leverage their invoicing solution complete a simple application and 15 minutes or so later they are approved and set up to accept customer payment. For our example let’s say the business name is “Best Landscapers”. They applied and are now approved and ready to bill/invoice there customers using the QBooks platform.
They email their customer an invoice for $100, that customers clicks to secure payment page and makes payment. Best will not be funded the entire $100. The payment fees are taken from this so they might see $96.80 assuming a 2.9% and 30 cent processing fee.
QBooks would receive a portion of the $3.20 fee being assessed. The amount will vary but a typical amount could be 40 cents.
So you have two attractive components: first the ease of enrolling a new client and second a revenue stream from every payment processed.
