SaaS Payment Processing Partnership for Integrated Payments
In today’s SaaS landscape, partnerships are a serious revenue driver. Research estimates that they account for around 38% of the total revenue a SaaS brings in.
While this percentage is inflated by large companies like Microsoft and Salesforce, it is not unheard of that a well-executed SaaS affiliate program boosts revenue by over 30%.
One of those types of partnerships — that Saas companies are increasingly searching for — is a partner who offers a payment gateway and other processing services. They can build it into their software to integrate payments within their application.
If you have 5 minutes to spare, here’s a quick overview of how SaaS payment processing partnership works and why software vendors choose SecureGlobalPay as their partner.
How do SaaS payment processing partnerships work?
Here’s how these partnerships usually work:
- The SaaS company reaches out to a payment service provider like SecureGlobalPay.
- The SaaS company integrates the payment processor’s tech (usually via APIs) right into its platform.
- This allows users of the software to accept payments without needing to sign up with a separate payment provider.
- The SaaS company often earns a share of the revenue every time a payment is processed — also known as residual income.
- Depending on the arrangement, the payment processor might also handle things like chargeback management, fraud prevention, and compliance, saving the SaaS team a ton of time and effort.
Why software vendors choose SecureGlobalPay as their payment processing partner
SecureGlobalPay offers ultimate payment processing solutions for both retail and high-risk merchants. Merchant accounts, state-of-the-art gateway, fraud and chargeback prevention, payment processing equipment — everything a merchant might need in one place.
Whether you have created the next best pool management, home inspection, or any other front-end-related software, are developing a brand new subscription platform, or want to upgrade your existing booking system with embedded payments, we are open to working with anyone, regardless of your industry.
And here’s why SaaS businesses want to work with us.
Ongoing residual income
The primary benefit of most SaaS payment processing partnerships is the residual income. If you partner with us, we can set up the arrangement in a few different ways.
The most common approach is to give you access to our payment gateway, which you can use to enable payment processing directly in your software. We can set you up as an affiliate, with a very competitive buy rate. The arrangement lasts for the whole life of the account.
The buy rate is basically the wholesale cost that a partner (like a SaaS company) pays for payment processing services. It’s kind of like the "base price" or “buy rate” you get from SecureGlobalPay. Once you know your buy rate (e.g. 15 cents per transaction), you can mark it up when you resell it to your customers (e.g. 20 cents per transaction) — the difference is your profit.
Many SaaS owners did not think about this in the early days. They wanted to enable payments inside their software and automatically defaulted to integrating one of the more popular payment gateway solutions, like Authorize.net, and did this without receiving any backend concessions.
And it gets even better: if you add the merchant accounts to the above solution, we can also share that revenue. As your customer base grows, this can be a very lucrative income stream.
Better product marketing
When your software comes with a built-in, ready-to-go payment processing solution, it instantly becomes a much more attractive option for your customers.
Instead of having to find and set up their merchant account somewhere else, you can offer them that as part of the package — making their lives easier and making your product stand out.
Plus, when you partner with SecureGlobalPay, we let you brand the technology as your own. That means the checkout, billing, and reporting tools all look and feel like a natural part of your software — not like some third-party add-on. This gives your customers a much smoother, more professional experience.
Integrate with a powerful payment gateway
When you team up with SecureGlobalPay, you’re not just getting any old payment solution — you’re tapping into a modern payment gateway with advanced security features that’s built for today’s business needs.
With our gateway, your software can support virtually any type of payment, including:
- Credit and debit cards
- ACH and eCheck transactions
- Mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Mail Order/Telephone Order (MOTO) payments
- Text to Pay
- Tap to Pay
- And more!
SecureGlobalPay works across any device — whether your customers are selling online, in-store, or even on the go — and supports multiple currencies and all major card brands. No matter how or where your users want to get paid, you’ll have them covered.
You can learn more about it (or even start a live demo) on our dedicated payment gateway page.
Get custom integration support
The integration process through our API should be fairly straightforward. However, if you need help with the initial setup, customizing features, or troubleshooting any bumps along the way, we’ve got your back.
Our developers will be at your disposal to make sure the payment gateway integrates smoothly into your platform and everything works as intended.
Provide customers with free payment processing equipment
Another big win for partnering with SecureGlobalPay? You can offer your customers free payment processing equipment to help them get up and running faster — without any extra upfront costs.
We can also provide the latest Clover and Dejavoo equipment and software, perfect for retail merchants who want reliable, easy-to-use tools at the point of sale. Whether they need a countertop terminal, mobile credit card reader, or full POS system, we’ve got options to fit their needs.
To qualify for free equipment, merchants do need to hit a certain processing threshold. But for many businesses, it’s an easy target — especially with the right payment tools in their hands.
Partner with an experienced merchant service provider
We know the payment industry inside and out. Over the last 30 years, we’ve built strong relationships with acquiring banks and developed trusted connections across the industry.
That experience means fewer surprises for you and your customers — and quicker, smarter solutions when issues pop up. Instead of trial and error, you’re backed by a team that’s already been there, done that.
With SecureGlobalPay, you’re not just getting a payment processor — you’re getting a seasoned partner who won’t nickel and dime you at every step.
