The platform

Money in. Money out. Your name over the door.

Storefronts, marketplaces, terminals and tap-to-pay all route through one platform — and the platform routes to the acquiring relationship each merchant needs, including the one they already have. You brand every surface your merchants touch. We keep the current flowing underneath.

  • One integration routes to the acquiring each merchant needs
  • Multiple merchant IDs, one account, automatic routing
  • Level 3 data, tokenization and AI fraud screening built in

Why Pylon exists

Three ways to earn on payments. Every one of them costs you.

Register as an ISO and pay for the privilege. Build a payment facility of your own and hire for it. Or hand your merchants to somebody else and watch the revenue leave with them. Pylon is the fourth option: the platform, the brand and the revenue all stay with you.

The old way
The Pylon way

Register as an ISO

Association registration, sponsor-bank approval, background checks — five figures of fees and most of a year of paperwork before your first merchant boards.

Sign one agreement with Pylon

You're in the sandbox within days and boarding merchants under your own brand this month. We carry the registrations and the sponsor relationships.

Build a PayFac from scratch

Capital reserves, PCI scope, compliance staff, chargeback liability — a payments company buried inside your product company.

We run the infrastructure

The gateway, the network connections and the compliance plumbing are already built and maintained. You bring the brand and the customers.

Refer merchants out and move on

Send your customers to a gateway vendor for a one-time bounty and a logo on someone else's dashboard. The relationship — and the revenue — belong to them.

Own the relationship

Your logo on the portal, your domain on the login page, your pricing on the statement. The merchant is yours for as long as they process.

Everything included

One platform, white-labeled end to end.

The gateway

A complete payment engine: tokenization, hosted fields, recurring billing, level 3 data and a virtual terminal.

Any-processor boardingTerminals, tap-to-pay and mobile

Merchant onboarding

Branded applications, automated underwriting and KYC — approvals in days, not weeks.

Traditional underwritingLow, medium and high risk

Your brand everywhere

White-labeled merchant portal, hosted payment pages, receipts and microsites — your logo, your colors, your domain.

Partner console

Board merchants, set pricing and watch residuals, transactions and portfolio health in real time.

Developers

Built developers-first, on purpose.

Documentation that generates working code in your language, a sandbox that mirrors production, and hosted options that let a non-developer launch a checkout the same afternoon.

  • REST APIs with generated snippets in PHP, Python, Ruby, Node and more
  • Hosted payment pages and copy-paste buttons for funnels and sites
  • Webhooks for the whole payment lifecycle
  • SDKs for in-person EMV and mobile tap-to-pay

Coming soon

The second half of Pylon moves the goods.

Fulfilment, warehousing and distribution, built on the same idea as the gateway: your business shouldn't have to live inside someone else's ecosystem to move its products. Payments first — logistics right behind.

Partner program

Turn payments into a product.

Software companies, agencies and sales organizations run their entire merchant portfolio on Pylon under their own name — portals, applications, statements, support. To your merchants, you are the payments company.

Revenue share
Starts at 50% of net gateway and processing revenue, renegotiated upward as your portfolio grows
Your pricing
You set merchant rates. The spread above your wholesale schedule is 100% yours
Residuals
Paid monthly for as long as a merchant processes — no promo windows, no expiry
Commitment
A small platform minimum during your first 90 days; after that, the platform pays for itself
