Future-proofing your business: why payments are crucial for ISVs

As ISVs, you know that the world of payments is changing rapidly. Customer expectations are rising, new payment methods are emerging, and simply offering basic payment options is no longer enough. Payments cannot be an afterthought anymore; they need to be a core part of your business strategy, or the customer might walk and never return.

The future belongs to ISVs that view payments as more than just transactions. Payments can streamline operations, improve compliance processes and elevate the customer experience. This all comes down to partnering with a payment provider that aligns with your goals to ensure you remain competitive and that you meet the challenges ahead.

Imagine a taxi software provider that offers a platform to small taxi firms – helping them with everything from booking rides to managing payments. Now, what if that software provider also integrates seamless payment solutions? Suddenly, the taxi firm’s day-to-day operations become even easier.

With pre-integrated payment solutions, the taxi firm isn’t just using the software to manage rides – it’s streamlining its entire payment process, enhancing customer satisfaction, and ultimately growing its business.

For ISVs, providing a payment solution that suits the specific needs of their users is essential. Whether it’s traditional card payments, mobile or contactless options like Apple Pay and Google Pay, offering flexibility is key. The right payment provider will allow you to offer a tailored experience to your users.

One thing that we learned in this industry is that simplicity matters. ISVs shouldn’t have to worry about complicated integrations. The right payment partner will offer quick and easy deployment options, allowing you to focus on what you do best – developing your software. Features like payment links, hosted payment pages, and gateway should be simple to integrate, giving you the flexibility to scale as your business grows. And from the merchant's perspective, the first interaction with the payment system must be smooth and seamless. A streamlined and customisable, white-label onboarding experience means they can start accepting payments without delay. With Worldline you are partnering with a payment provider that supports a wide range of payment methods. 

Payments are not just about completing transactions – they’re also about security compliance and data insights. A great payment partner will offer built-in fraud protection, real-time reporting and compliance support for critical requirements such as «know your customer» (KYC) and data security standard GDPR. This allows ISVs to focus on their core offerings rather than managing complex regulatory demands. By integrating tools for fraud management, detailed analytics, and regulatory compliance, ISVs can empower their users to operate securely and efficiently, building stronger, long-lasting partnerships.

At Worldline, we understand the challenges ISVs face, which is why we’ve designed an embedded payment solution in collaboration with our partner OPP (Online Payment Platform) specifically for platforms and marketplaces. This solution offers a range of payment features tailored to the specific needs of ISVs. It creates new revenue opportunities by allowing the individual setting of transaction costs, which contributes to additional income. Powerful features also include the ability of multi-split payments, allowing transactions to be split among an unlimited number of recipients and to withhold payments until certain conditions are met. Furthermore, the automated mediation system simplifies ISVs’ user support significantly by handling over 70% of support inquiries independently. Additionally, the escrow function ensures the secure holding of funds, which are only released when the agreed conditions are met. Our solution ensures that your payments comply with key industry regulations, payment schemes, banking licenses, and anti-money laundering laws. 

Whether you’re an ISV, SaaS provider, or agency, this solution focuses on simplicity, global reach, and new revenue streams, so we’re here to help you and your customers thrive. Reach out today, and let’s grow together.
