Digital applications
Confirm the application flow and follow-up responsibilities.
Choose how merchants apply
| Approach | What it is | What to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted merchant application | An application experience provided through the selected onboarding service | Branding options, application access and follow-up responsibilities |
| Merchant onboarding API | An integration that connects supported application functions with your system | Available endpoints, required fields, authentication and status handling |
| Partner dashboard | The application or portfolio workflow offered through the selected partner program | User access, available information and operational responsibilities |
Features and availability depend on the program. Confirm the actual service before selecting an approach.
Collect the information needed for review
Merchants provide the business, ownership and supporting information requested by the applicable provider. Digital workflows can help organize that process, but they do not remove underwriting requirements.
Document collection, electronic signatures and status tracking depend on the chosen solution and configuration. Confirm how each step works for your program.
Onboarding within a software payments partnership
A software company can provide the merchant application experience without directly making underwriting decisions or owning merchant underwriting risk. Define who collects information, handles pending requests and communicates approval conditions. The no-PayFac guide explains this division of responsibilities.
When merchants need different processing paths, confirm each provider’s required information and available status visibility. Read about multi-processor software programs and how onboarding affects payments monetization.
