Can I Use My Existing Merchant Account With Paytia?

Yes, you can use your existing merchant account with Paytia! Here's how it works, depending on your payment gateway:


Direct Payment Partner Scheme

If your payment gateway is part of Paytia's Direct Payment Partner Scheme, we can set up your Paytia account to integrate with it at no additional monthly cost. This allows you to continue using your existing payment provider seamlessly through Paytia's secure platform.


Indirect Payment Partner Scheme

If your payment gateway is part of Paytia's Indirect Payment Partner Scheme, integration is still possible. However, additional service charges may apply. This is because Paytia has carried out the necessary technical work to enable secure transactions with these gateways on your behalf.


How to Decide the Best Option

To ensure you get the most value, consider the following:

  1. Review Costs
    Compare the total cost, including service charges, to determine whether staying with your existing gateway or switching to a direct partner gateway offers better value.

  2. Evaluate Service
    Assess the features and benefits of Paytia's direct payment partners versus your current gateway.

  3. Consult Paytia's Sales Team
    Contact sales@paytia.com for a review of your gateway and options. They will help you decide the most cost-effective and efficient path forward.


Next Steps

  1. Check Compatibility
    Confirm whether your payment provider is on Paytia's direct or indirect partner list.

  2. Contact Sales
    Reach out to sales@paytia.com for assistance with integration or for recommendations on the best gateway for your business.

With Paytia, you can securely take payments while leveraging the gateway that works best for your needs.
