Empower Your PSP Business — Partner with Inquid.net and Grow Together
Whether you are a Payment Service Provider seeking a reliable acquiring backbone, an experienced sales professional with a network of business contacts, or a lead generator with connections in the payments world — Inquid.net has a partnership model built specifically for how you operate. One programme, three distinct paths, unlimited earning potential.
Why the Payments Industry Needs Better Partnership Models
The global payments industry runs on relationships — between merchants and processors, between processors and acquiring banks, between sales professionals and the businesses they serve. Yet most payment companies treat their partners as an afterthought: referral links buried in a footer, revenue share agreements that take months to negotiate, and support structures that evaporate the moment a deal is closed. At our core, we believe that a partnership should be a strategic asset rather than a secondary function. We prioritize clear communication and mutual success to ensure that every participant in the ecosystem feels valued and supported throughout the entire journey.
Inquid.net was built by people who have worked in payments long enough to know what a genuinely good partnership looks like — and long enough to have experienced the disappointment of partnerships that failed to deliver on their promises. Our PSP partnership programme is designed from the ground up to be the kind of partnership you will actually want to talk about when someone asks how your business grew. We focus on transparency and reliability to build a foundation that lasts for years. By learning from the mistakes of the past, we have created a robust framework that empowers our partners to achieve their commercial goals without the usual friction found in this sector.
We offer three distinct partnership models because we recognise that not every partner has the same role, the same capabilities, or the same relationship with the end merchant. A PSP that wants to leverage our acquiring infrastructure operates entirely differently from a payments consultant who introduces businesses to the right processing solution, or a well-connected professional who identifies opportunities and passes them to a team that can close them. All three deserve a programme that fits how they actually work — not a generic reseller agreement that forces them into a shape that does not suit their business. We ensure each model provides the right tools for growth.
Inquid.net’s partnership programme is built on a simple principle: when our partners grow, we grow. Every commercial structure, every support commitment, and every operational decision in our programme is made with that alignment in mind.
Three Partnership Paths. One Shared Goal: Your Growth.

Inquid.net as Your Acquiring Partner - What It Actually Means in Practice
The PSP Partner model is built for Payment Service Providers, payment facilitators, and fintech companies that have built their own gateway technology, their own merchant relationships, and their own brand — but need a stronger, more reliable, more globally connected acquiring backbone to power the processing behind their platform.As a PSP partner, your merchants continue to interact with your brand and your product. You maintain the merchant relationship, you manage the commercial terms, and you operate the customer-facing experience. Inquid.net operates as the acquiring infrastructure behind your platform — the network of banking relationships, the routing intelligence, the compliance framework, and the settlement engine that makes your processing work reliably at scale.
Multi-Acquirer Routing for Better Approvals
Single-acquirer PSPs hit a ceiling. When their one acquiring bank tightens risk appetite, changes its fee structure, or exits a market, the PSP's entire merchant base is affected. Inquid.net connects your PSP platform to 40+ acquiring banks, with intelligent routing that selects the optimal acquirer for each transaction in real time. Your approval rates increase, your decline recovery improves, and your platform is never dependent on a single banking relationship. For PSPs that have experienced sudden changes in acquirer appetite, this multi-acquirer architecture is transformative — it converts an existential risk into a manageable, monitored, and redundant system.
Global Acquiring Coverage for Your Merchants
Your merchants want to process globally. Most PSPs are limited by the geographic reach of their single acquiring relationship. Inquid.net's acquiring network spans Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, the Middle East, and Latin America — giving your PSP platform genuine global reach without requiring you to establish direct acquiring relationships in each market independently. Your merchants process globally. You grow globally. Inquid.net handles the acquiring complexity. This vast network allows you to offer your clients the ability to scale into new regions without the traditional overhead of securing local licenses or finding new partners in every single country.
Clean API Integration into Your Platform
Integrating Inquid.net as your acquiring partner does not require rebuilding your gateway. Our PSP-specific API is designed to sit cleanly beneath your existing technology stack — receiving transaction requests from your platform, processing them through our acquiring network, and returning standardised responses in the format your system expects. Your merchants do not see the integration. Your technology team configures it once. Our integration support team is available throughout the process and remains on hand for ongoing technical questions after go-live. We ensure that the transition is seamless and that your technical performance remains consistently high.
Compliance That Strengthens Your Position
PSPs operating without a strong compliance partner are vulnerable. PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, AML transaction monitoring, 3DS2 authentication, and card scheme compliance obligations are resource-intensive to maintain independently. By partnering with Inquid.net as your acquirer, your platform inherits our compliance infrastructure — reducing your own compliance burden, strengthening your conversations with acquiring banks, and demonstrating to merchants that their payment data is processed through a certified, compliant environment. This provides a layer of security and professional standing that is essential for long-term growth and trust in the financial space.
Inquid.net as Your Acquiring Partner
The PSP Partner model is built for Payment Service Providers, payment facilitators, and fintech companies that have built their own gateway technology, their own merchant relationships, and their own brand — but need a stronger, more reliable, more globally connected acquiring backbone to power the processing behind their platform. As a PSP partner, your merchants continue to interact with your brand and your product. You maintain the merchant relationship, you manage the commercial terms, and you operate the customer-facing experience. Inquid.net operates as the acquiring infrastructure behind your platform — the network of banking relationships and routing.
High-Risk Merchant Processing Support
Many PSPs lose merchant accounts they want to keep because their single acquiring relationship lacks the risk appetite for certain merchant categories. As an Inquid.net PSP partner, your platform gains access to acquiring relationships specifically structured for high-risk categories — gaming, forex, nutraceuticals, travel, crypto, and more. This means you can serve a broader range of merchant types, reduce the number of merchants you need to turn away, and build a more diverse and resilient merchant portfolio. Having access to these specialized streams allows your business to thrive in sectors that are often ignored by traditional, more conservative processors.
Sell Inquid.net Solutions - Earn on Every Transaction Your Merchants Process
Reseller partners earn a commission on the processing volume generated by every merchant they introduce to Inquid.net — not just a one-time sign-up fee. This means your income grows as your merchants grow. A merchant processing $500,000 per month today and $2 million per month in two years generates proportionally higher commission throughout — without you needing to do any additional work beyond the initial introduction and relationship maintenance. Building a portfolio of active merchants is building a recurring revenue stream that compounds over time.
Reseller partners receive the sales tools, product knowledge, and commercial support they need to represent Inquid.net's solutions credibly and compellingly. This includes: branded sales presentations and product documentation, pricing tools that allow you to model merchant-specific cost comparisons, access to Inquid.net's technical team for complex merchant questions, co-selling support for large or complex opportunities, and a dedicated partner manager who can join client calls when it adds value.
Once you have introduced a merchant and the account is approved, Inquid.net's merchant success team takes responsibility for onboarding, integration support, ongoing account management, and technical assistance. You introduced the merchant. You maintain the commercial relationship. But you are not expected to answer technical questions about API integrations, chargeback ratios, or settlement schedules — Inquid.net's team handles all of that directly, freeing you to focus on your next introduction and your next commission opportunity.
Every merchant you have introduced, every transaction they process, and every commission payment you have earned or are due — all visible in real time through your Inquid.net reseller partner portal. No spreadsheet chasing. No end-of-month surprises. Full transparency into your commission pipeline so you can manage your business with confidence, forecast your income accurately, and identify which merchants in your portfolio represent the greatest revenue opportunity.
Who Makes the Best Reseller Partner?
Successful Inquid.net reseller partners typically have a background in payment processing, financial services, or business advisory services, combined with a network of business relationships that they have built over years in their field. They might be former payment industry professionals who know the landscape from the inside, digital agency owners whose clients regularly face payment processing challenges, business consultants with a portfolio of e-commerce and online business clients, or entrepreneurial individuals who have identified a specific underserved merchant community. The common thread is: genuine relationships, genuine understanding of payment needs, and genuine ability to have a credible conversation about why Inquid.net is the right solution.
Your Path to Partnership - From Application to First Earnings
Joining the Inquid.net partner programme is designed to be straightforward, fast, and transparent. Here is the journey from initial application to active partner status.
Complete Inquid.net's online partner application, selecting your partnership model — PSP Partner, Reseller, or Affiliate. Include a brief description of your background, your network or platform, and the type of merchants you expect to introduce or route through the partnership. Applications are reviewed within 2 to 3 business days.
Inquid.net's partnership team reviews your application and conducts appropriate due diligence — including business verification and, for PSP partners, a more detailed technical and compliance assessment. We may request a brief introductory call to discuss your business model and partnership goals before formalising the relationship.
Approved partners receive a partnership agreement documenting commercial terms, commission structure, obligations, and SLAs. Once signed, your partner portal is activated, your dedicated partner or affiliate manager is assigned, and your onboarding session is scheduled. PSP partners additionally receive technical integration documentation and sandbox environment access.
With your partner portal active and your manager in place, you are ready to begin. Resellers and affiliates can submit their first referral immediately. PSP partners complete technical integration in the sandbox environment before going live. The moment your first merchant is approved and begins processing, your earnings begin — tracked transparently in your portal in real time.
As your merchant portfolio grows — and as the merchants you have introduced grow their own processing volumes — your earnings grow with them. Inquid.net's partner programme includes performance-based enhancements for active partners: higher commission tiers for resellers achieving volume milestones, enhanced affiliate rates for consistent high-quality referrers, and expanded product access for PSP partners demonstrating processing stability and compliance quality.
Why the Best Payment Partners Choose to Work with Inquid.net
There is no shortage of payment companies offering partner programmes. The difference between a partnership that transforms your business and one that wastes your time comes down to three things: the quality of the product you are selling or powering, the honesty and reliability of the commercial relationship, and the quality of the support you receive after you sign the agreement. Here is what Inquid.net delivers on all three.
A Product Portfolio Worth Selling
The most important factor in any reseller or affiliate partnership is whether the product is genuinely good — because your reputation is on the line every time you make a recommendation. Inquid.net's payment gateway, merchant account solutions, APM library, and high-risk capabilities represent a genuinely competitive, technically sophisticated product suite that delivers measurable value to the merchants who use it. Selling Inquid.net means recommending something you can stand behind.
Transparent Terms, Paid On Time
Partner programme horror stories in the payments industry almost always involve one of two things: opaque commission structures that do not pay out what was promised, or commission payments that are consistently late or contested. Inquid.net's partner commission structure is documented clearly in your agreement, calculated transparently in your portal, and paid on a fixed, reliable schedule. What is promised is what is delivered.
Acquiring Depth That Sets You Apart
For PSP partners, the quality of Inquid.net's acquiring network is the foundation of the partnership's value. 40+ acquiring bank relationships, intelligent multi-acquirer routing, and a global merchant portfolio spanning 150+ countries gives PSP partners access to acquiring infrastructure that would take years and tens of millions to replicate independently. This depth is the reason PSP partners who join Inquid.net consistently report approval rate improvements that their previous acquiring relationships could not match.
A Team That Treats Partners as Partners
Every Inquid.net partner — regardless of their programme tier — receives a dedicated partner manager who is reachable, responsive, and invested in their success. Partner managers understand both the commercial side of the partnership and the technical details of Inquid.net's platform well enough to add genuine value to client conversations. This is not a support ticket system with a payments FAQ. It is a named professional who knows your business and cares about its growth.
We Navigate Complex Markets Together
One of the most valuable things Inquid.net brings to a partnership is its experience navigating the payment processing landscape in high-risk, regulated, and complex markets. PSP partners and resellers who work with high-risk merchant categories benefit directly from Inquid.net's specialist underwriting, compliance infrastructure, and regulatory knowledge — capabilities that most of their competitors simply cannot access through standard processor relationships.
A Programme That Scales With Your Ambition
Inquid.net's partnership programme is not designed to have a ceiling. Resellers who grow their merchant portfolios access higher commission tiers. Affiliates who consistently deliver qualified leads receive enhanced rates and priority support. PSP partners who demonstrate processing quality and compliance standards access expanded acquiring relationships and higher volume limits. Growth is not just rewarded — it is built into the structure of the programme from day one.
PSP Partnership FAQs - Answered Directly
The questions prospective partners ask most often about Inquid.net's partnership programme - answered with the clarity you need to make a confident decision.
The three partnership models reflect three distinct roles in the payment ecosystem. A PSP Partner is itself a Payment Service Provider — it has its own gateway technology, its own merchant base, and its own brand, but uses Inquid.net as the acquiring infrastructure behind its platform. Inquid.net acts as the acquirer; the PSP partner acts as the payment facilitator and merchant-facing brand. A Reseller Partner is an individual or agency with deep knowledge of payment processing and strong relationships with business owners. Resellers actively sell Inquid.net's solutions to their contacts, earn ongoing commission on the processing volume those merchants generate, and remain involved in the commercial relationship. An Affiliate Partner makes introductions — they identify businesses that would benefit from Inquid.net's services, refer the lead to Inquid.net's team, and earn a one-time commission when that lead converts to an active, processing merchant. Affiliates are not expected to manage the sales process or the ongoing commercial relationship.
When Inquid.net acts as the acquirer for a PSP partner, it means that Inquid.net's acquiring bank relationships are the financial counterparty for the transactions processed through the PSP's platform. The PSP integrates Inquid.net's acquiring API into their gateway technology — so when a merchant's customer completes a payment, the transaction flows from the PSP's gateway through Inquid.net's acquiring infrastructure to the relevant card network and issuing bank. Inquid.net handles the acquiring bank relationships, the settlement mechanics, the compliance framework, and the risk management for the underlying transaction. The PSP handles the merchant relationship, the customer-facing checkout experience, and the commercial terms with its merchants. The PSP's merchants typically do not know — and do not need to know — which acquiring bank is processing their transactions. They interact with the PSP's brand throughout.
Reseller partner commission is calculated as a percentage of the net processing volume generated by each merchant the reseller has introduced to Inquid.net. The specific commission rate is documented in the reseller partner agreement and varies based on the merchant's processing volume, merchant category, and the commercial terms agreed at the time of partnership. Commission is calculated monthly based on the previous month's verified processing volume and paid on a fixed schedule. Commission statements are available in real time through your partner portal, showing the processing volume attributed to each merchant you have introduced, the commission rate applicable to each, and the total commission earned or pending for the current period.
A valid affiliate referral is a business introduction made through the Inquid.net affiliate partner portal, via your unique referral link, or via a direct email introduction acknowledged and logged by Inquid.net's partnership team. For a referral to qualify for commission, the referred business must not already be in Inquid.net's pipeline or existing merchant database, must complete the full merchant onboarding and KYC process successfully, must be approved for a merchant account, and must process at least one live transaction through the Inquid.net platform within the qualifying period specified in your affiliate agreement. Commission is paid after the qualifying transaction period is confirmed, and you will be notified in your partner portal when a referred lead converts to an active merchant and when your commission payment is scheduled.
This depends on your specific situation and is subject to discussion with Inquid.net's partnership team. In general, the PSP Partner model is distinct from the Reseller and Affiliate models because it involves a technical integration relationship as well as a commercial one. It is possible for a business to hold both a PSP Partner agreement and refer additional merchants through a reseller relationship for merchant categories outside their own platform's coverage — but the specific terms and any potential conflicts of interest are assessed individually. If you believe your situation requires a hybrid approach, the best first step is a conversation with Inquid.net's partnership team to discuss what structure best fits your business model.
Reseller and affiliate partners can introduce merchants from any industry that Inquid.net's merchant account programme supports — which covers over 100 merchant categories across low, medium, and high-risk verticals. Standard e-commerce, retail, SaaS, professional services, and subscription businesses can be introduced immediately. High-risk merchant categories — including online gaming, forex, nutraceuticals, adult content, travel, and cryptocurrency — can also be introduced through the partner programme, subject to Inquid.net's standard high-risk underwriting process. There is no restriction on the geography of the merchants you introduce — your commission applies regardless of where in the world the introduced merchant is based.
PSP partners integrate Inquid.net's acquiring API into their existing gateway technology. The integration is designed to be as lightweight as possible — Inquid.net's API accepts standard transaction request formats and returns standardised responses that most payment gateways can accommodate without significant development work. Inquid.net provides full API documentation, a dedicated sandbox environment for testing, and a technical integration team that supports PSP partners throughout the integration process and remains available for ongoing technical questions after go-live. The typical PSP integration timeline is 2 to 4 weeks for development teams familiar with payment API integrations.
Inquid.net does not impose a strict minimum processing volume as a condition of joining the partner programme. We evaluate partner applications based on the quality of the opportunity and the suitability of the partnership model, not on a volume threshold. PSP partner applications are assessed partly on the existing or projected processing volume that the partnership would route through Inquid.net's acquiring infrastructure. For reseller and affiliate partners, there is no volume requirement at all — you can introduce your first merchant the day your partner agreement is signed.
Inquid.net's reseller partner support is structured around making it as easy as possible for resellers to have productive conversations with prospective merchants and convert those conversations into active accounts. Support includes: a dedicated partner manager who can join client calls or meetings; branded sales presentations and product one-pagers tailored to different merchant categories; a pricing tool that allows resellers to model the specific cost impact of switching to Inquid.net for a prospect's transaction profile; access to Inquid.net's technical team for complex integration questions; and fast-track onboarding for merchants that resellers bring to the point of application.
Inquid.net's commitment to referred and introduced merchants is the same as its commitment to directly acquired merchants — the same onboarding quality, the same ongoing account management, the same compliance infrastructure, and the same support standards apply regardless of how the merchant was introduced to the platform. Reseller commission is protected for the lifetime of the merchant's active account — merchants introduced by a reseller continue to generate commission for that reseller as long as they remain active processing merchants with Inquid.net, even if the reseller's day-to-day involvement decreases over time. Commission is only affected if a merchant's account is terminated for compliance or fraud reasons documented in the partner agreement.
