Most UK SaaS platforms don't realise they're missing thousands of pounds in revenue whilst their competitors capture payment margins they should own. Transaction processing represents more than just moving money—it's the foundation of sustainable recurring revenue that transforms your platform from a cost centre into a profit engine.
Every transaction your platform processes through external providers costs you three ways: direct fees eating your margins, lost customer data preventing optimisation, and zero control over the payment experience that defines your brand.
When you rely on external transaction processing, you're essentially paying competitors to own your most valuable customer touchpoint. Your users complete purchases, but the payment provider captures the relationship, the data, and the ongoing revenue potential.
The numbers don't lie: The average UK SaaS platform processes 50,000 transactions monthly. At typical third-party rates, that's approximately £3,000 in monthly fees that could fund product development instead.
More critically, you lose visibility into payment behaviour patterns that could inform pricing strategies, identify churn risks, and optimise conversion rates. Without direct transaction processing capabilities, your platform operates with one hand tied behind its back.

You maintain complete ownership of merchant relationships and transaction data throughout our partnership. Should you decide to migrate to direct acquiring relationships or alternative processors, we provide full data export capabilities and support transition planning. Our month-to-month pricing structure means you're never locked into long-term commitments that don't serve your business needs.
Transaction processing through PayFacLite® typically reduces overall payment costs by 30-50% compared to third-party providers, particularly as volume scales. You eliminate markup layers whilst gaining access to wholesale interchange rates. More importantly, you capture processing margins that can fund platform development and expansion rather than subsidising external providers.
The PayFacLite® API requires standard REST integration skills that most development teams possess. We provide comprehensive documentation, sandbox environments, and technical support throughout implementation. Most platforms complete integration within one sprint cycle because our API abstracts complex payment processing logic into straightforward method calls.
PayFacLite® maintains primary regulatory relationships with the FCA and handles most compliance obligations on your behalf. You're responsible for merchant onboarding procedures and transaction monitoring within your platform, but we manage bank relationships, settlement processes, and regulatory reporting. Our compliance team provides ongoing guidance to ensure your platform meets all requirements.
Most platforms begin processing live transactions within 48 hours of completing integration testing. This timeline includes API setup, compliance verification, and merchant account configuration. We prioritise rapid deployment because delayed launches cost you revenue and competitive positioning in your market.
