Connections Overview
Learn about Connections, your link to payment service providers.
Preczn uses Connections to indicate which fintech service providers your platform supports. Utilize Connections for each payments processor, payment facilitation provider, and / or lender your Merchants will perform transactions against.
Processor Types
Direct Processors
With direct processors, each merchant establishes their own individual relationship with the processor. Merchants manage their own processing agreements, pricing, and account settings directly with the processor.
Best for: Businesses with existing processor relationships or specific pricing requirements.
Platform Processors
Platform processors (also called payment facilitators or PayFacs) allow you to onboard merchants under your platform's master account. The platform manages the processor relationship, and merchants are sub-accounts.
Best for: Platforms that want to control the merchant onboarding experience and monetize payments.
Lending Processors
Lending processors facilitate loan payment collection and disbursement. They integrate with lending platforms to process loan origination, repayment, and servicing transactions.
Service Processors
Service processors provide specialized payment-adjacent services such as loan servicing, fraud detection, or payment orchestration.
