Does Your Payment Processor Check All the Boxes?

Choosing a payments partner shouldn’t feel like a leap of faith. Finding the right partner is one of the most consequential decisions for any ISV or SaaS platform. This checklist breaks down what to look for (and what to avoid) so you can build a smoother, more profitable payments experience inside your platform — without costly surprises in pricing, support, or risk down the road.

Check out these 10 ways to help you confidently evaluate your current provider (or vet a new one).

• How to actually make money on payments (recurring revenue + fair revenue splits).
• The must-have product capabilities like developer-friendly APIs, easy white-label onboarding, and omnichannel payments
• What “good support” really looks like during implementation and beyond (and why always-on, knowledgeable, real U.S.-based people matter)
• The stuff that protects you — dedicated merchant accounts, transparent pricing, and cancel-anytime terms.
