The process flow
Here is a potential outline of the process flow for a matching as a service platform for merchants and payment service providers:
Sign Up
PSPs and merchants will need to sign up for the platform and create profiles to get started. This will involve providing basic information about the business, as well as any relevant documentation.
Application
In order to tailor the user experience and ensure legal compliance, merchants would need to fill out the application for identity verification, which would require the name of the user or company as well as documents related to the business.
Matching
Once a PSP or merchant has signed up, the platform will use its algorithms to match them with potential partners based on their needs and preferences.Artificial intelligence (AI) will analyze data such as a merchant’s transaction history, the types of products or services offered, the target market, and the business goals to recommend PSPs that are most likely to meet the merchant’s needs.
Onboarding
If a PSP and merchant decide to work together, the platform will facilitate the onboarding process, including verifying any necessary documentation and setting up any required technical integrations.
Processing
Once a PSP and merchant are onboarded, the platform will facilitate the processing of transactions between them. This may involve handling the transfer of funds and the provision of any relevant payment processing services.
