Payment Facilitation What Can Possibly Go Wrong

https://www.agilepayments.com/

For the SaaS provider, potential advantages in becoming a Payment Facilitator are compelling: payment facilitation drives ease in client onboarding and unlocks a new stream of revenue generation.

The ability to bypass onboarding friction by enabling customers to immediately accept credit cards through your app is a competitive differentiator. As well, customers’ ability to forgo burdensome application processes drives up your engagement and adoption. These dynamics mean more revenue derived from the payment facilitation solution.

But payment processing is inherently risky, even on the traditional merchant processor level. Those risks are compounded exponentially for a SaaS organization who becomes a payment facilitator, particularly one with a high volume client base that processes primarily subscriptions on credit card transaction basis. Knowing your customer is critical. Chargebacks are of critical concern, and ultimately it’s the SaaS company that carries the burden on them. While the benefits of payment facilitation are attractive, without the compliance and supporting infrastructure, the risks can quickly compromise the engagement. In some cases it’s worth exploring a hybrid facilitation model where underwriting and compliance concerns are transferred, while opportunities for revenue generation remain.
