Referral Partner Program

Refer a merchant. Earn residual revenue for the life of the account.

Referral agents and ISOs earn a share of Merchantic’s net revenue for every account they bring — every month the account stays active, not just a one-time bounty.

Why Partner With Us

Built for people who already have the relationships

You bring the introduction. We handle underwriting, onboarding, and support — and pay you monthly for as long as the account processes.

No cap on earnings

Refer as many merchants as you want — there is no ceiling on monthly residual income.

Paid monthly

Residuals are calculated and paid out every month for the life of each referred account.

Dedicated partner support

A named partner manager handles underwriting questions and keeps you posted on referral status.

Transparent reporting

Track referral status and monthly residual detail — no black box, no guessing what you are owed.

Earnings Structure

Two ways to partner

All residual figures on this page are a percentage of net revenue, not gross processing volume. Net revenue is estimated using Merchantic's typical average net margin of 0.50% on processed volume. Actual net revenue varies by account and is confirmed once underwriting is complete.
20–50% of net revenue, sliding scale, paid monthly

Referral agents earn a percentage of Merchantic’s net revenue on every approved account — the more active accounts in your portfolio, the higher your share climbs.

  • Starts at 20% from your very first approved referral
  • Scales up to 50% as your active portfolio grows
  • Residuals continue for the life of each account

What that looks like in dollars

Referred Account’s Monthly Volume Est. Monthly Net Revenue (0.50%) Your Residual (20–50%)
$25,000$125$25 – $63
$100,000$500$100 – $250
$500,000$2,500$500 – $1,250
$1,000,000+$5,000+$1,000 – $2,500+
Illustrative only. Actual residuals depend on account type, processing mix, and approved pricing, and are confirmed once an account is underwritten and active.

Bring your portfolio, keep your book

ISOs bring an existing merchant portfolio, sales infrastructure, and risk appetite to the table. Because every ISO relationship differs in size and structure, residual splits are negotiated individually rather than published on a fixed scale.

  • Splits negotiated on portfolio size and risk profile
  • Still calculated against net revenue, not gross volume
  • Dedicated underwriting support for your book of business

What we provide

Full back-end processing infrastructure, underwriting, and support — so your team can stay focused on sales and merchant relationships.
