Grow Your Business With a Modern Payments Partner
Your clients already pay for software, services, and supplies. If you advise them, sell to them, or build tools for them, you are already close to the moment money moves. A payments partnership lets you add a useful service to that relationship and earn recurring revenue from it, without becoming a bank or building payment technology yourself.
Who This Is For
- Consultants and business advisors who want to recommend a trusted processor and be rewarded for it.
- Agencies and web developers building stores and sites that need a payment gateway.
- IT and managed service providers who set up POS, networks, and software for small businesses.
- Software platforms and SaaS companies that want to offer payments inside their product.
- Merchant services sales teams and ISOs who want a modern gateway, instant approvals, and a flexible program to sell.
How Coastal Pay Powers Your Client Relationships
You focus on selling and relationships. Coastal Pay handles underwriting, risk review, and merchant support. Because applications are digital and approvals are instant for most standard-risk businesses, partners can start referring merchants within days instead of waiting on slow paperwork. Your clients get a better experience, and you look good for recommending it.

Choose the Partnership Model That Fits Your Business
Not every partner wants the same level of involvement. Coastal Pay offers three models, from a hands-off referral to a branded or embedded offering. If you are not sure which fits, a short partner call will match you to the right one.
Referral Partner
Send leads, and Coastal Pay closes, onboards, and supports the merchant. You earn ongoing residuals for each active merchant you refer.
Best for: Consultants, agencies, and advisors who want to add payments with almost no extra work.
Reseller or ISO Partner
Co-sell with Coastal Pay or manage the merchant relationship directly, and earn volume-based residuals as your portfolio grows.
Best for: Merchant services sales teams, ISOs, and organizations building a recurring revenue book.
White-Label and Embedded Partner
Offer Coastal Pay’s gateway and 2,000+ integrations under your own brand or inside your software through the REST API.
Best for: Software platforms, SaaS companies, and industry-specific tools that want payments inside the product.
| Model | Your Role | Coastal Pay’s Role | Effort | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Referral | Send leads | Sell, onboard, support | Low | Consultants, agencies, advisors |
| Reseller / ISO | Co-sell or manage merchants | Underwriting, risk, platform | Medium | Sales teams, ISOs |
| White-label / Embedded | Brand and integrate | Gateway, API, underwriting, support | Higher | Software platforms, SaaS |

Instant Online Merchant Account with Klarna, Apple Pay & Google Pay Included
Most merchant accounts make you wait. You submit an application, wait days for underwriting, then discover that Klarna needs one contract, Apple Pay needs another setup, and Google Pay needs a third. Coastal Pay removes that stack of separate steps. You apply once, you are approved in about two minutes for most standard-risk businesses, and you switch on your payment methods from one dashboard.
Flat 2.5% + $0.15 Payment Processing – No Gateway Fee, No Hidden Costs, No Surprises
Most payment processors quote a rate. Then they add a gateway fee. Then a statement fee. Then a batch fee. Then a PCI fee. By the time the monthly statement arrives, the effective rate is 0.5% to 1% higher than the number you saw on the pricing page. Coastal Pay works differently. One flat rate – 2.5% + $0.15 per transaction. Zero monthly gateway fee. Zero statement fee. Zero batch fee. Zero setup fee. The number you see is the number you pay. Every month. Every transaction. Every channel.
