ISV PAYMENTS

One platform to embed, control, and grow in-person payments, without rebuilding around every device, market, or partner.

Payment with alternative payment solution by ISV

If payments is a product decision, this is how you treat it like one

  • For independent software vendors, payments are no longer just something you plug in. They affect the checkout experience you can offer and the margin you can build into the payment flow.

    But that only works if you have control over how payments run inside your platform. You need to decide how transactions are routed, which providers you work with, how devices behave, and how payments appear across in-person, unattended, and hybrid environments.

    Aevi gives you that control through an orchestration layer built for in-person payments. You keep control of the product and commercial decisions, while Aevi provides the infrastructure to make them executable at scale.

    Manage devices, apps, and configurations centrally across your estate

Are you an ISV faced with any of the following payments challenges?

  • Building once and deploying everywhere sounds straightforward. In practice, different devices, acquirers, and certification requirements make every new market a rebuild. Aevi removes that complexity by decoupling your software from device and acquirer dependencies, so your integration scales without being rebuilt for each market.

  • Payments should contribute to your margins, not just your costs - but that only happens when you control how transactions are routed, priced, and delivered.

  • Single-provider dependencies cap your commercial leverage and your ability to move quickly. When you can operate across multiple acquirers and device types, you’re better positioned to negotiate and grow.

  • Compliance changes, new payment methods, new hardware form factors - if each one requires a significant development effort, your payment infrastructure is holding your product back.

  • Wallets, A2A, BNPL, app-based checkout flows, loyalty integrations - if your platform can't support the checkout experience merchants want, you lose ground to competitors who can.

ISV payments, proven at scale

  • You're not betting on a proof-of-concept. The platform you build on is already running large-scale payment estates in production, so you’re not starting from scratch or taking on unnecessary risk as you scale.

Why ISVs choose Aevi

  • Most embedded payments platforms give you limited flexibility once you go live. Aevi takes a different approach.

    Built for ISVs operating in physical environments like retail, hospitality, and services, Aevi is designed around the reality of how software gets used on the ground - across devices, checkout journeys, and real-world interactions that shape the experience. 

    It gives you ownership over how payments work inside your product, across devices, markets, and commercial models. 

  • when-fragmented-hotel-payments-start-hurting-revenue-cloud
  • For most platforms, in-person is something you connect to. If your software touches the physical world, this is where you either differentiate or get commoditized. Android-based SmartPOS, SoftPOS, unattended and traditional POS terminals aren't just deployment targets, they're roadmap real estate. 

    Owning that surface means you decide what ships to the device - your checkout, your branding, loyalty, services -  and you can build experiences that online-first competitors cannot access through online-only checkout models. 

    Aevi gives you the orchestration layer underneath, so the device becomes somewhere you can differentiate your product, control the experience, and create value that online-only competitors cannot replicate.

  • Most embedded payments solutions give you an API and a fixed provider relationship. Aevi is built to give you control where most platforms restrict it - giving you multi-acquirer routing, device-agnostic deployment, and the ability to switch or add providers without disrupting your integration. You own the commercial relationships, we give you the infrastructure to execute on them. 

  • You may need to support multiple environment types - a retail EPOS here, a kiosk deployment there, mobile payments for field service. Managing these on separate stacks creates fragmentation. Aevi unifies them on one orchestration layer, so your integration scales with your product.

How ISVs monetize with Aevi

  • Icon progress data

    Payments as a revenue line

    Own more of the payment flow, not just the integration.

    Take control, participate in the economics, and turn acceptance into a recurring revenue stream that grows as your software scales.

  • Icon update software

    Upsell devices, apps, and value-added services

    Aevi’s marketplace enables you to extend the in-person payment experience with additional capabilities such as loyalty, reporting and back-office integrations. Devices become part of your product experience, not just transaction endpoints - they become a channel for services at the point of sale.

  • Icon open payment solutions

    Expand into new markets and verticals without re-platforming

    Aevi is built for multi-market deployment. New geographies are supported through extension, not reintegration. Acquirer relationships, device configurations and compliance are handled at the orchestration layer - keeping a consistent core integration across markets.

Where are you in your payments journey?

  • ISVs come to Aevi at different stages depending on how mature their payment strategy is. Here's how to identify where you are - and what Aevi helps you do next.

What you can do with Aevi’s platform

    Capability

    Single SDK / API integration

    Multi-acquirer routing

    Hardware independence

    Remote device management

    App marketplace enablement

    Centralized compliance management

    White-label capability

    What it lets you do

    Connect your EPOS, software, or platform to payment terminals once, then scale across device brands, markets, and OS versions without rebuilding.

    Route transactions across multiple acquirers and processors - intelligently, by geography, cost, or business rule. Keep commercial flexibility as you scale.

    Run your integration across SmartPOS, SoftPOS, smart mobile POS, and traditional terminals - regardless of device brand or form factor.

    Push updates, manage app configurations, run health checks, and handle key loading across your entire terminal estate - no on-site visits required.

    Deploy third-party apps and value-added services alongside the payment application on a single device, without touching the core payment stack.

    Aevi handles EMVCo and PCI DSS compliance, nexo standards, and regulatory requirements - so you don't carry that overhead for every new market or device.

    Customize your payment solution with your own branding, so the experience feels native to your product from first interaction to receipt.

    The starting point for most ISVs: SmartPOS

    Aevi proposition SmartPOS for ISVs Hand with smartPOS

    Aevi's SmartPOS platform is where most ISV’s begin - a single orchestration layer that connects your software to payment devices without locking you into a single vendor, acquirer, or device type.

    It's built for retail, hospitality, and service-sector platforms. For integrated software vendors, payments acceptance needs to feel like part of the product, rather than being bolted on as a separate layer.
