Merchant of Record Recommendations

So, we’re nearing our launch window, and I need to transfer us from Stripe to a Merchant of Record. It would be nice if we could stick with Stripe Managed Payments, but they don’t cover sufficient countries to support our operations.

It’s an in-app currency based business model, so that’s also limiting.

We’re preferably looking for biweekly to daily payouts (we need to keep our AI models topped up with tokens).

I know the payout requirement might be our undoing, but it’s also necessary for sustainable growth.

High-risk boarding is the only place left to make real money.

Low-risk retail is a commodity now. If you aren't specializing in 'hard to place' industries like CBD, gaming, or nutra, are you even an expert anymore, or just an order taker for Square?

What's the Most Common Reason Merchants Get Funds Held?

I’ve seen merchants obsess over rates when choosing a processor but more often the real problem is funding holds.

For those working with merchants, or owning businesses:

  • What is the most common reason you have seen funds held up?
  • Chargebacks? Sudden volume spikes? Underwriting issues? Fulfillment delays? Or what?
  • Merchants could have done something else to prevent this.

I would love to hear from people who have actually used it.

Cash Discounting is a race to the bottom for the industry.

While it saves the merchant money today, are we just training a generation of consumers to resent 'hidden fees' and ultimately inviting more heavy-handed regulation like we've seen in Europe?
