A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Embedded payments.
Clear starting points.
What are embedded payments?
Embedded payments place a payment step within a product or platform workflow, so it becomes part of the task the customer is already completing.
Is this the same as a payment gateway?
A gateway is part of the connection to payment processing. Embedded payments describe how a payment fits into the broader product experience. Explore our payment gateways page for more about that connection.
Can this work for my software or marketplace?
That needs a review of your business model, providers and technical requirements. Talk to Voda about your specific workflow before selecting a solution.
Will the experience use my branding?
Branding options depend on the provider tools and integration approach. Share your design requirements with the team so they can be reviewed.
How much development work is involved?
The amount of work depends on the chosen provider tools, your platform and the workflow you need. A timeline should be discussed after reviewing scope and compatibility.
Can I browse related integrations?
Yes. Explore the platform directory or our shopping cart integration page. Listed platforms require compatibility confirmation for your setup.
YOUR MERCHANT ACCOUNT IS THE STARTING POINT
Find the account fit.
Then connect the payment tools.
Start with your business model and account requirements. Equipment, payment methods and features depend on eligibility, the selected provider and compatibility.
Review your business
Discuss what you sell, how customers pay, expected processing volume and any current processing challenges.
Explore account options
Work with Voda on the merchant account application. Provider review determines eligibility, terms and available processing options.
Match the payment setup
After reviewing the account requirements, discuss compatible gateways, terminals and relevant payment methods. Approval and specific features are not guaranteed.
