What is a payment platform as a service?

A payment platform as a service gives you the technology to build and run your own payment services without building the underlying platform from scratch. Aevi provides the orchestration layer, connecting providers, terminals and payment services through one platform. Using a payments-as-a-service platform, PSPs, ISOs and ISVs can offer payments under their own brand without owning the systems underneath.

How does Aevi help reduce vendor lock-in?

Aevi keeps the different parts of your payment setup separate, so you’re not tied to one vendor for everything. Connect the providers, terminals and gateways you want, then add or change them as your needs change. You’re in control of where your payment setup goes next, rather than being limited by one vendor’s roadmap, pricing or performance.

How is Aevi different from a payment gateway?

A payment gateway is one component in the payment stack: it captures a transaction and passes it to a processor. Aevi operates a layer above that, orchestrating the whole in-person payment environment and connecting multiple gateways, providers and terminals, so you’re not limited to a single route or vendor. We offer a card-present gateway of our own - you can use it or connect the gateway you already have.

Can I connect multiple payment providers?

Yes, Aevi lets you connect multiple PSPs, acquirers and gateways through the same platform. That gives you more choice over where payments are routed, so you can choose providers based on what works best for your business.

Can I white-label the platform?

Yes. Aevi’s platform as a service is built to be white-labeled. You can put your own brand around the payment services you provide to merchants, while our technology runs behind the scenes.

Does Aevi support both in-person and online payments?

Yes. The platform is built primarily to solve the complexity of in-person payments - device management, terminal estates and multi-vendor routing - and connects with online payment flows too.

Can merchants choose their own payment providers and services?

Yes, if that’s how you want to run it. Aevi doesn’t sell acquiring or make terminals - you decide which acquirers, gateways and payment methods are available on your platform, and whether merchants pick from that list or you set it for them. The same applies to services like loyalty, digital receipts and analytics.

PAYMENT PLATFORM AS A SERVICE

In-person payment infrastructure for PSPs, ISOs and ISVs who want more control.

Launch your payment platform

Why a payment platform as a service beats building or buying

A payment platform as a service lets you offer payments to merchants under your own brand, without building or running the technology behind them. Aevi’s platform is built for in-person payments, giving you the certification, device management and provider connections needed to launch card-present services quickly. For PSPs, ISOs and ISVs, that means growing a payment business without the usual trade-offs.

The problem with building or buying payments the old way

Without a payment as a service platform, most PSPs, ISOs and ISVs face a build versus buy decision with two bad outcomes: spend years building an orchestration layer from scratch, or buy a bundled, single-vendor solution that locks them in from day one.

Both leave you with problems:

Fragmentation

Every provider and payment method you add brings another integration to manage, making your setup harder to change as you scale.
Lock-in

With a bundled setup, the provider decides what gets added and when. You have less control over where your stack goes next.
Slow expansion

Every new market or payment method means another development project for your team.
Scattered data

Transaction and performance data sits across providers, making it harder to get a clear view of what is happening across your payment setup.

There’s a third option. Aevi isn’t an acquirer or a device manufacturer - and we don’t try to replace them. We sit above them as the orchestration layer, connecting your providers, terminals and apps through one integration. That’s the point of a payments-as-a-service platform: you build your payment business on our infrastructure without having to build or run the systems underneath it.

What an orchestration layer changes

One integration instead of many

Connect acquirers, processors and payment methods through a single integration. Add or remove providers without touching what’s already live, so your payment setup stays flexible as you scale.
White-label control

Launch the platform under your own brand, with the services and pricing you choose. Aevi provides the orchestration layer - you decide what gets added and when.
Expansion without another build

Add a new market, provider or payment method without starting another development project. Extend your existing payment setup as you grow, rather than rebuilding around each new requirement.
Visibility across every provider

Aevi connects data in real time that would otherwise sit fragmented across separate payment systems, giving you a single view of activity across your whole estate through a dashboard or via API. Report across every provider and terminal you’ve connected, and pass that data through to merchants under your own brand.

What you build on top is up to you

Aevi handles the orchestration; what you sell on top of it depends on the business you're in. It's an open platform, so merchants can add third-party apps alongside payments.

If you’re a PSP with a gap on the card-present side, the hard parts are already handled. Certification, device management and terminal estates are already part of the platform, so you can add in-person payments without creating a separate setup around them.
ISOs reselling merchant services often end up competing on price. Aevi gives you more to bring to the relationship: your own brand, your own pricing and services such as loyalty, digital receipts and analytics alongside payments. That gives you more ways to generate revenue from the merchants already on your books.
If you’re an ISV, your merchants already use your software. Aevi lets you add payments without taking on the technology and operational work of becoming a payments company. One integration connects you to the providers and terminals behind it, while you stay free to choose and change them.

Why Aevi?

Built for complex in-person environments

Many orchestration platforms started in e-commerce and added card-present payments later. Aevi was built for in-person payments from the start, with certification, fulfillment and device management built into the platform - not just payment routing.
Built for specialized sectors

Fuel, mobility and retail merchants need payment setups that go beyond standard platforms. Aevi already supports unattended payments, forecourt integrations and complex device estates, so you can serve these merchants without having to build the supporting infrastructure yourself.
Vendor-agnostic by design

Aevi doesn’t sell acquiring or make terminals. You’re free to choose the providers, devices and services that work for your business, without being tied to one vendor.
Multi-provider, multi-terminal

Connect several acquirers and several device vendors through the same integration, and change either without touching the other
