  • Who it serves: A US-based payment processing company supporting ISOs, affiliates and merchants.
  • Payment channels: Virtual terminal, hosted checkout, cards, ACH/eCheck, digital wallets, subscriptions and QR payments.

  • Outcome: One scalable platform for branded merchant experiences and centralized payment operations.

Overview

A US-based payment processing company needed more than a checkout screen. It required a configurable platform where merchants could accept payments under their own branding while the platform team governed onboarding, pricing, permissions, transaction activity and processor synchronization from a central operating layer.

DreamzTech designed and developed a multi-tenant payment processing platform integrated with a third-party payment processor. The solution combines merchant-facing payment tools with an administrative portal for ISOs, agents, affiliates and internal users. It supports credit and debit cards, ACH/eCheck, contactless wallet flows, recurring billing, hosted checkout, QR payments, refunds and reporting while keeping merchant data and settings separated by tenant.

Delivery Challenges

  • Create branded, isolated merchant experiences on one shared platform
  • Unify cards, ACH, wallets, recurring billing, QR and hosted checkout workflows
  • Synchronize onboarding and transactions with an external processor in real time
  • Give ISOs and administrators granular control over pricing, features and users
  • Maintain clear visibility across refunds, voids, returns, risk signals and webhooks

How the Platform Works

The platform coordinates merchant onboarding, payment acceptance and operational control through five connected stages.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    A white-label payment gateway lets a fintech company or payment provider offer payment acceptance under its own brand. The provider can customize merchant portals, hosted checkout pages, receipts, communication templates and domains while using integrated processing infrastructure for transaction authorization, tokenization and settlement workflows.

    DreamzTech built a multi-tenant gateway and merchant management platform for a US-based payment processing company. It includes merchant onboarding, virtual terminals, hosted checkout, recurring billing, ACH/eCheck, QR payments, refunds, branding, pricing controls, roles, transaction monitoring, multilingual interfaces and AI-assisted analytics.

    A hosted payment page is a secure checkout page served through the payment platform rather than built entirely inside the merchant’s website. In this solution, merchants can configure branding and custom fields, generate a shareable URL or iframe code and route payment data through processor tokenization.

    A virtual terminal is used by an authorized merchant user to enter payment details and initiate a charge. A hosted payment page is customer-facing and allows the payer to complete checkout through a branded link or embedded form. Both workflows can use the same processor integration and reporting layer.

    The documented scope covers credit and debit cards, ACH/eCheck, recurring card or ACH billing, hosted checkout, QR payments and contactless wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay through supported processor capabilities. Tap to Pay should be treated as processor- and device-dependent until availability is confirmed.

    Each merchant operates in a separated tenant with its own subdomain, branding, users, payment features and configuration. Central administrators can onboard merchants, assign agents or affiliates, configure pricing, toggle services, monitor transactions and manage synchronization without exposing one merchant’s settings to another.

    The architecture uses processor tokenization, masked payment details, encrypted data, password hashing, JWT-based access, granular permissions and MFA. These controls support PCI-aligned workflows, but an organization’s final PCI DSS scope and compliance status depend on its processor integration, deployment, policies and validated assessment.

    Yes. The management portal can create agent or affiliate profiles, assign merchants, restrict dashboard scope, search merchants by agent or ISO and apply pricing or feature configurations. This gives the payment company a central view while preserving controlled access for different partner roles.
