So what's the right way to diversifyand look toward a more future-proofed solution? Find a PayFac partner.
Searching for a PayFac Partner to Fit Your Product Portfolio

Luckily, transitioning into a relationship with a PayFac partner can make the switch seamless. For example, working with as your PayFac partner can be the first step to enabling a better, more efficient payments experience and sharing that same experience with your customers.

PayFac's Edge Over the Traditional ISO Program Model
Unlike the traditional ISO program model, a PayFac platform allows for a more customizable payment flow, faster merchant onboarding, and better funding. ISOs are losing traditional business to software providers, but the traditional ISO program doesn't have to become obsolete if you have a diverse product portfolio. With Treati.io, our PayFac platform can be equipped to meet the needs of software platforms that are looking to deliver a better, more seamless payments experience to your business customers. How so? Through a better onboarding experience that exists via the API for software platforms, it allows users to sign up directly on the platform itself in order to process payments instantly. What this does is reduce friction and overhead costs while eliminating any clunky manual processes that often come with users of software platforms. Furthermore, by including a PayFac solution for your customers, you can go beyond selling to end-merchants and provide a new revenue stream. Because ISOs are reliant on the model that enabled payments are to be sold as a service (compared to a flexible software platform model that makes the payments experience highly customizable) it's easy to see why diversifying your product portfolio with a PayFac partner like Treati is a good option to future-proof your solutions.
Take the necessary steps today to onboard Treati as your PayFac partner and you'll be on your way to accepting payments quickly, securely, and with more room to grow your business.
