Payrix is an embedded payments platform owned by Worldpay/FIS, designed for software companies that want to monetise payments inside their own product. We picked it because for vertical SaaS (field-service, healthcare, education, property management), letting your customers process cards, pay subcontractors and split payouts inside your software is one of the highest-margin product extensions you can ship.
How it works
Payrix offers two integration depths: PayFac-as-a-Service (PFaaS), where Payrix is the payment facilitator and you embed via API, and full Managed Payment Facilitation, where you become a registered PayFac with Payrix providing infrastructure, compliance and underwriting. Either way, you get card-present, card-not-present, ACH and recurring billing, plus split payouts to multiple parties from a single transaction.
The platform exposes REST APIs and SDKs for hosted fields, drop-in checkouts and white-label dashboards. KYC, KYB and underwriting flows ship as embeddable forms.
Pricing reality
Payrix is contract-based. A typical structure is interchange-plus pricing on cards (e.g. interchange + 0.20-0.40% + 8c), plus a platform/SaaS fee per transaction (often 0.30-0.80%) for the embedded layer. ACH typically runs 0.5-1.0% with caps. Onboarding includes underwriting, compliance review and integration certification, which usually takes 8-16 weeks for a new platform.

Who should buy, who should skip
Buy if you run a vertical SaaS with real transaction volume from end customers, you want to capture payment revenue rather than passing it to Stripe, and you can stomach a 2-4 month onboarding to launch the embedded layer.
Skip if you are pre-launch or have low volume (use Stripe Connect first), you want a self-serve developer experience without sales calls, or you do not need split payouts or platform-level economics.

What members say
“Best embedded payments for property management vertical”
“White-label payments kept patients in our platform experience”
“Payments became a revenue line, not just a feature”
What is the difference between Payrix and Stripe Connect?
Stripe Connect is the easiest path to embedded payments and is self-serve. Payrix is contract-based and structured around platforms earning meaningful revenue share, with deeper hand-holding on compliance and underwriting. Stripe wins for speed; Payrix wins for unit economics at scale.
How does Payrix make money?
Payrix charges interchange-plus on cards plus a platform/SaaS fee, then shares the platform fee with you. Volume tiers improve your share as you grow.
Do I become a payment facilitator?
Two options: PayFac-as-a-Service (Payrix is the PayFac, you embed) or Managed PayFac (you register as a PayFac, Payrix provides infrastructure). The first is faster; the second gives more control and economics at scale.
How long does onboarding take?
Plan 8-16 weeks from initial conversation to live transactions, including underwriting, compliance, integration and certification. Larger platforms with existing volume can sometimes accelerate.
Does Payrix support ACH?
Yes, ACH and eCheck are supported alongside card processing, which is important for B2B and high-ticket verticals where card fees are uneconomic.
What verticals does Payrix focus on?
Field-service, healthcare, property management, education, non-profit and ISV/SaaS more broadly. The vertical depth is one of the reasons platforms pick Payrix over a generic PSP.
