PayFac as a Service: Launch Payment Facilitation Without Infrastructure
Most ISVs don't realise they're leaving 40% of potential revenue on the table by relying on third-party payment processors instead of becoming payment facilitators themselves. While your competitors struggle with complex infrastructure builds that take 18+ months and cost millions, PayFac as a service offers a faster path to payment facilitation that gets you live in weeks, not years.
The Hidden Cost of Delaying Your Payment Facilitation Strategy
Every month you wait to implement PayFac as a service represents real money walking out the door. Your platform processes transactions, but someone else captures the interchange revenue. Your customers need faster onboarding, but traditional merchant account setups take weeks.
Consider what you lose by maintaining the status quo:
Revenue Leakage: Traditional payment partnerships typically offer 10-20 basis points in revenue share. As a payment facilitator, you capture 150-300 basis points on every transaction. For a platform processing £10M annually, that's the difference between £20,000 and £300,000 in payment revenue.
Customer Experience Degradation: When merchants must leave your platform to set up separate payment accounts, 23% never return to complete the process. Those that do often wait 5-14 days for approval, during which time they're evaluating your competitors.
Market Position Vulnerability: Platforms without embedded payments look outdated compared to those offering instant merchant onboarding. Your prospects increasingly expect payment facilitation as standard functionality.
Compliance Exposure: Managing payment partners across multiple jurisdictions creates regulatory complexity. Each additional vendor relationship introduces compliance gaps that could result in service disruptions.
The window for implementing PayFac as a service is narrowing rapidly. Early adopters are capturing market share while competitors remain stuck in traditional payment partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if PayFacLite® doesn't integrate properly with our existing platform?
PayFacLite® includes a 90-day implementation guarantee. If we can't successfully integrate with your platform within 90 days, we provide a full refund of setup fees. Our APIs are designed for flexibility and have integrated with over 200 different platform architectures without requiring major code changes.
How do we know transaction fees won't increase unexpectently after we migrate?
PayFacLite® offers transparent, contract-protected pricing with no hidden fees or sudden rate increases. Our pricing is locked for your first 24 months, and any subsequent changes require 90 days written notice. We provide detailed cost breakdowns showing exactly what you'll pay per transaction type.
What happens to our merchants if PayFacLite® experiences downtime?
PayFacLite® maintains 99.97% uptime through redundant infrastructure across multiple data centers. In the unlikely event of service disruption, we provide automatic failover to backup processors within 30 seconds. Our SLA includes financial penalties if uptime falls below 99.9% in any calendar month.
How quickly can we switch back to our current payment setup if needed?
PayFacLite® includes data portability guarantees – you can export all merchant and transaction data at any time. We provide 60 days transition support if you need to migrate to another solution. However, 98% of platforms that implement PayFacLite® expand their usage rather than switching away.
Will we lose control over our merchant relationships by using a third-party service?
PayFacLite® operates as white-label infrastructure – your merchants interact exclusively with your brand. You maintain direct merchant relationships, set your own pricing, and control customer communications. We handle the technical processing while you own the merchant experience completely.
