Frequently Asked Questions

Embedded payments involve many moving parts behind the scenes, and these FAQs explain how Usio helps platforms manage routing, compliance, tokenization, and gateway connections. Each answer gives a clear picture of how Usio supports a flexible and scalable payment infrastructure.

A gateway acts as the secure messaging layer between your platform and the payment processor. It handles:

  • Transaction authorization requests
  • Tokenization
  • Risk scoring
  • Routing logic
  • Network retries
  • Card brand compliance

In embedded payments, the gateway sits behind your UI and API, making the entire payment flow feel native to your platform without requiring your team to manage the card network protocols directly.

Usio provides a unified API layer that abstracts the complexity of Worldpay and Repay integrations. Instead of your developers managing multiple gateway certifications, message formats, or settlement rules, Usio handles:

  • Gateway routing
  • Processor certification
  • Token vaulting
  • Settlement reporting
  • Chargeback data collection
  • 3DS/SCA support

Your platform receives a clean, normalized transaction response regardless of which backend processor is used.

  • Chargeback data collection
  • 3DS/SCA support

 

Your platform receives a clean, normalized transaction response regardless of which backend processor is used.

Yes — settlement varies between processors.
Usio’s orchestration layer normalizes this by:

  • Reconciling different funding schedules
  • Consolidating reporting into a single ledger
  • Standardizing fee presentation
  • Offering predictable payout timelines

This prevents your finance team from having to reconcile multiple funding flows.

Usio provides its own token vault, meaning:

  • Tokens remain portable across Worldpay, Repay, or future processors
  • The SaaS platform does not get locked into a single processor
  • PCI scope remains off your platform
  • Recurring billing or card-on-file works regardless of backend routing

This is a major differentiator compared to Stripe or Square, where tokens are not portable.

Usio uses a processor-agnostic underwriting model:

  • Merchant data is collected once
  • Usio determines the appropriate processor (Worldpay, Repay, or Usio) based on risk, industry, and volume
  • KYC/KYB data is passed to the correct backend processor with no additional work required from the SaaS platform

Your onboarding UI stays identical regardless of where merchants ultimately board.

Usio centralizes all chargeback data so your merchants see:

  • A single chargeback portal
  • Unified dispute workflows
  • harmonized reason codes
  • Platform-level reporting rather than processor-level fragmentation

Chargeback management is processor-specific behind the scenes — but merchants never feel that complexity.

Different processors have different:

  • Interchange programs
  • Transaction fees
  • Risk models
  • Dispute fees

Usio blends these into a single revenue share model so SaaS companies do not need to negotiate or manage processor-by-processor economics. This is especially helpful when scaling across industries or risk profiles.

Usio provides:

  • Unified funding files
  • Combined settlement statements
  • A consolidated general ledger
  • Daily reporting that merges all processors into one view

This eliminates the reconciliation pain most platforms experience when using multiple processors directly.

Usio handles PCI Level 1 certification end-to-end:

  • The SaaS platform never touches card data
  • Tokenization happens before data hits your servers
  • PCI scope stays entirely with Usio + the backend processor

This prevents SaaS companies from ever needing PCI audits, scanning, or card data storage.

Yes — Usio’s backend processor flexibility allows:

  • Volume-based pricing
  • Industry-specific fee structures
  • Vertical-specific underwrite rules
  • Dynamic transaction fees based on MCC or card type

Your platform can offer “Stripe-like onboarding” but with custom pricing Stripe will not allow.

Usio handles:

  • Network tokenization
  • Visa/Mastercard updater services
  • Retry logic for failed payments
  • Configurable dunning strategies
  • Billing cycle reporting

Multiple gateways do not impact subscription performance because tokenization and retries are centralized.

Usio absorbs the changes.
Your platform does not need to update forms, workflows, or compliance logic. Usio handles all processor updates and ensures frictionless continuity for your merchants.

Usio provides real-time transaction reporting regardless of processor latency by:

  • Polling each gateway
  • Normalizing message responses
  • Surfacing a single transaction history for the platform
  • Providing consistent webhook events

This is extremely valuable for platforms with high transaction volume or complex routing logic.

Direct integrations require:

  • Full PCI Level 1 audits
  • Custom certification
  • Chargeback and dispute management
  • Multiple merchant onboarding processes
  • Unique settlement flows
  • Multiple reporting systems
  • No revenue share optimization

Usio provides a single unified integration, revenue share, reporting, onboarding, and support layer — dramatically simplifying the entire payments infrastructure.
