The full PayFac-as-a-Service stack: merchant onboarding, underwriting, disputes, billing, subscriptions, and deposits, on a platform that actively saves lives with every transaction.
Most ISOs refer you to a payment processor, then tell you to go set up a separate gateway (Authorize.net, NMI, Stripe, etc.) with its own monthly fee and per-transaction cost. Pro-Life Payments gives you a fully integrated gateway and processing solution, meaning your merchants pay one provider, one rate, and keep more margin.
Stripe Connect is a capable platform, but it's built around Stripe's ecosystem, Stripe's underwriting rules, and Stripe's values. Revenue share on both sides is negotiated by volume. The real difference is what your dollars fund, who controls your risk rules, and whether your ISV partner picks up the phone.
From first merchant sign-up to deposit payout, every piece of the PayFac stack is accessible via clean REST APIs, backed by enterprise-grade processing infrastructure.
KYB/KYC-integrated onboarding APIs let you sign up sub-merchants programmatically in minutes. Custom application flows, webhook callbacks on status changes, and auto-underwriting for low-risk profiles.
Automated risk scoring backed by our compliance team. Set risk thresholds per vertical. Real-time approval/decline via API. Human review queue for edge cases with full status webhooks.
Accept card-present, card-not-present, ACH, and digital wallets. Programmatic payout scheduling, split payments, and sub-merchant deposit APIs with real-time balance endpoints.
Full chargeback lifecycle APIs: respond to disputes, upload evidence, receive rulings via webhook. Dashboard visibility per sub-merchant. Auto-alerts on high-risk accounts.
Generate, retrieve, and deliver itemized merchant statements via API. Branded PDF generation, custom date ranges, and downloadable CSV exports per sub-merchant.
Full billing engine: create plans, trials, coupons, and collect recurring ACH/card. Retry logic, dunning management, and subscription lifecycle webhooks. Built for SaaS and membership apps.
Generate send-and-forget payment request links or full invoices via API. Branded invoice templates, email delivery, and real-time paid/failed webhooks back to your platform.
Embed a hosted customer payment portal under your domain. Your branding. Your colors. Customers manage cards, view invoices, and update billing info — without leaving your product.
Create isolated "sites" per customer segment. Each site can have unique tax rates, checkout flows, and payment methods. Perfect for multi-vertical software platforms.
Offer cash discount or credit card surcharging per sub-merchant. Fully compliant with state surcharging laws. Configure globally or per-account via API.
100+ event types delivered reliably to your endpoint. Automatic retries with exponential backoff, signature verification, and a webhook log viewer in the dashboard.
Clean REST API with full OpenAPI 3.0 docs. Official SDKs for Node.js, Python, and PHP. Sandbox environment with test card numbers. Rate-limited staging environment included.
Route a single customer payment to multiple parties in real time: platform fees, vendor payouts, and affiliate commissions all settled automatically at checkout. No manual transfers. No reconciliation headaches. Configure the rules once and they run on every transaction.
Route each transaction to the correct location, clinic, or chapter automatically, with your platform fee deducted before funds settle.
Pay 1099 contractors directly from the customer's payment, clean, compliant, and instant without routing through payroll.
Split ticket revenue between the event organizer and your platform at the moment of purchase, automatically.
Divide large invoices or recurring plans into scheduled portions across multiple payees on your platform.
Every ISV partner gets their own white-labeled admin dashboard, branded with your logo, domain, and color scheme. Your sub-merchants see your brand on every screen. One powerful platform, fully yours from login to payout.
Our onboarding API handles KYB/KYC, bank verification, risk scoring, and pricing setup in a single call. The moment anything changes (authorization approved, settlement posted, dispute opened), a webhook posts the event directly into your system in real time.
SDKs — drop-in, not build-from-scratch
Our SDKs for Node.js, Python, and PHP wrap the full API so your team ships integration in days, not months. Auth tokens, request signing, retry logic, and error handling are handled for you.
Webhooks — your system stays in sync automatically
Every transaction event fires a signed POST to your endpoint instantly. Your platform never needs to poll; we push the event the moment it happens.
