Fuel your growth by turning referrals into revenue
Launch a fully managed payment program that earns you revenue—without the compliance risk, support burden, or technical lift with CSG’s referral partnership model.
Earn recurring revenue when your customers use CSG for payments
For SaaS companies, ISOs, technology integrators, and consultants, we take care of the complexities of payment processing so your customers can get started faster—and you can drive growth.
Refer with Confidence. Deliver More Value.
As a CSG Payments referral partner, you can introduce your clients to a unified, end-to-end solution designed to simplify complex payment challenges while simultaneously deepening client relationships and unlocking new revenue opportunities.
Give clients flexible ways to pay
Every customer’s payment needs are different. Refer clients to a solution that supports ACH, cards, and digital wallets across phone, in-person, and online channels, so they can easily adapt as their needs evolve. Adding new channels or payment methods is an easy addition, no rip and replace or complex upgrades needed.
Help clients get paid faster
Connect billers with a plug-and-play, white-label bill pay solution built for recurring payments. Features like reminders, text-to-pay, autopay, and self-service options make it easier for them to collect on time. Interactive voice response systems can handle routine account inquiries and bill payments over the phone 24/7, so their staff can focus on more complex tasks.
Protect revenue and reduce risk
Give your clients access to advanced tools that help prevent fraud, reduce failed payments, recover insufficient funds, and safeguard sensitive data without adding complexity to their operations. They’ll be grateful these tools are available to protect their customers and their bottom line.
Offer flexibility without the lift
Refer clients to a platform that gives them choice and control across banks, processors, and financial institutions, while simplifying how they manage their payment ecosystem with our gateway flexibility and acquired payment processing.
Support seamless, branded experiences
For ISVs, enterprises, and government organizations, enable fully integrated payment experiences tailored to their workflows, making it easier for their customers to pay and engage. Embedded payments also help gain customer trust and reduce cart abandonment when checkout remains in cohesive, branded page.
