How Easy Pay Direct is different

We underwrite every account before it goes live. Our specialists learn your business model, your marketing funnel, and your product mix, then match you to a back-end bank that already works with your vertical. Underwriting up front is why our client accounts stay open.

Get Started

Transaction Routing

Route transactions across multiple accounts automatically. If one account has an issue, the others keep processing.

Chargeback mitigation

Chargeback alerts, dispute workflow, and monitoring to keep ratios low.

Recurring billing

Built-in subscription billing with multiple payment options.

500+ integrations

Shopping carts, funnels, CRMs, and course platforms. If we do not integrate with something, our in-house team can build it.

Ecommerce verticals we support

We underwrite and support both standard and specialty ecommerce:

  • Apparel & accessories
  • Health & beauty
  • Nutraceuticals
  • Supplements
  • Coaching & seminars

Why aggregator processors are risky for course creators

Aggregators run millions of merchants through one master account and set you up in minutes because they never underwrite your business. That is exactly why they can shut you down in minutes too.

FeatureDedicated Merchant Account (Easy Pay Direct)PayFac StripeShopifyFanBasisWhop
Account type Dedicated MID, your business's name on file Shared account with thousands of others
Getting shut down Rare. Real underwriting means fewer surprises Frozen funds and account terminations are common
Volume caps Process what your business needs Hit a ceiling, get flagged, get held
Chargeback support Human team fights disputes with you You're on your own
Integrations 500+ integrations, we work with your stack Locked into their platform
Approval Real underwriting in 1-4 business days Approved, then account reviewed later. Causing holds or shutdowns
Account manager Dedicated human who knows your business Support ticket queue
When things break Text your account manager Wait for chat, hope for a response

The cheapest processor is the one that doesn't shut you down. If your account froze tomorrow, could you make payroll? That's the real cost of picking on rate alone.

And that "low rate" a PayFac advertises? It's never what you actually pay.
