PaidYET Opens Its Partner Marketplace
Software companies exploring payment facilitation have historically had to piece together their own stack: a gateway here, a settlement engine there, a POS integration from somewhere else, and a sponsor bank relationship to tie it all together. PaidYET’s new Partner Marketplace is built to shorten that process by putting vetted integration partners, technology providers, and service partners in one place.
For a software company that’s already decided to become a PayFac — or is still deciding between using one and becoming one — the marketplace is meant to answer a practical question we get asked constantly in our own inbox: who do I actually call to get this built?
What’s In It
Based on what’s live at launch, the marketplace organizes partners by the role they play in a PayFac stack:
- Integration partners — companies that help plug payment functionality into an existing software product without a ground-up rebuild.
- Technology providers — the infrastructure layer: gateways, settlement, back-office and reporting tools.
- Service partners — compliance, underwriting, and consulting support for companies navigating sponsor bank requirements and PCI obligations for the first time.
This is also, transparently, where PaidYET’s own sibling products show up — GetPaid.cloud for PayFac management, PayFacHub for settlement and back-office, Taap It for mobile tap-to-pay, and PaidPOS for point-of-sale — alongside outside partners. If you’ve read our earlier pieces on PCI compliance or becoming a PayFac, this marketplace is essentially the “who can help me do this” companion to that research.
Why It Matters for Software Companies Weighing PayFac Status
The decision to become a payment facilitator instead of simply using one is rarely about wanting more payments infrastructure to manage — it’s about margin, control, and owning the merchant relationship. But that decision gets a lot easier to commit to when the surrounding tooling and support network is visible up front, rather than something you discover piecemeal after you’re already underwriting sub-merchants.
A marketplace model also gives smaller software companies something they don’t usually get on their own: negotiating leverage and vetted defaults, instead of having to evaluate every processor, gateway, and compliance consultant cold.
Worth a Look If You’re Evaluating a PayFac Model
If your team has been sitting on the “use a PayFac vs. become one” question, the Partner Marketplace is a reasonable place to see what a fully built-out PayFac stack actually looks like end to end — and who’s available to help you build it.
