How to Increase Your Income by Becoming a Merchant Services Reseller?


Have you ever dreamed of running your own business, generating passive income, and tapping into a rapidly growing industry? You might be surprised to learn that the merchant services industry offers just that — and becoming a merchant services reseller could be your ideal entry point into the world of payments.

You may be thinking, "Isn’t this business expensive? Isn’t it only for big players with deep pockets?" The good news is that you don’t need to start an Independent Sales Organization (ISO) from scratch or invest tens of thousands of dollars. Becoming an ISO agent gives you an affordable way to enter this lucrative market.

By partnering with established merchant service providers, you can resell their payment processing solutions and earn recurring commissions from the transactions your clients make. This business model offers opportunities for growth and scalability without requiring a large upfront investment.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to become a successful merchant services reseller with Thrifty Payments. We’ll provide you with practical insights and actionable steps to help you get started and thrive in this booming industry.

Why Become a Merchant Services Reseller? 

The payments industry is growing at a rapid pace, and so is the demand for merchant services. Businesses of all sizes need reliable, secure, and efficient payment processing solutions, making this an excellent opportunity for resellers. Becoming a merchant services reseller allows you to tap into this market, offering a wide range of services to businesses, from payment gateways to point-of-sale (POS) systems.

One of the most attractive aspects of reselling merchant services is the recurring revenue model. When you partner with reputable merchant service providers, you earn commissions from the transactions your clients process. Over time, this builds a steady stream of passive income, with the potential for substantial financial growth as your portfolio of merchants expands.

Additionally, this industry has a wide reach, from small businesses to large enterprises and even high-risk merchants. High-risk merchants, such as those in the gaming industry, travel, or subscription-based services, also require payment solutions. This gives resellers an opportunity to cater to a diverse clientele while earning commissions from both low and high-risk sectors.

Key Benefits of Becoming a Merchant Services Reseller

  • Low Startup Costs
    Compared to other businesses, becoming a merchant services reseller requires relatively little upfront investment. You don’t need to create or develop your own payment processing system; instead, you partner with established merchant service providers who have already done the heavy lifting for you. This significantly reduces costs and allows you to focus on selling and building your client base.

  • Recurring Revenue
    As a reseller, you will earn commissions every time your clients process payments. This means that once you sign up a merchant, you continue to earn as long as they remain a customer. With the right merchant service provider partner, you can enjoy long-term, recurring commissions from each of your clients' transactions.

  • Diverse Market Opportunities
    The need for merchant services extends across nearly every industry, whether it's retail, hospitality, e-commerce, or high-risk merchants. You’ll have the flexibility to offer payment solutions to businesses of all sizes, from small local shops to large enterprises. You’ll also have the opportunity to cater to high-risk merchants, a growing niche in the payment industry, with the potential for higher rewards.

  • Industry Growth
    The payment processing industry is expected to keep growing as businesses move further into the digital space. The shift from traditional payment methods to mobile wallets, contactless payments, and e-commerce transactions means there will always be demand for secure, reliable payment processing solutions. As a merchant services reseller, you'll be well-positioned to profit from this ongoing shift.

How to Get Started as a Merchant Services Reseller?

Becoming a merchant services reseller with Thrifty Payments is straightforward and provides you with everything you need to get started in the industry. Here are the steps you need to follow:
