How linq Works

1. Integrate Once

Connect MerchantFocus to your platform using our developer-friendly API. Most integrations are live within a few weeks with full support from our team.

2. Onboard Merchants in Minutes

Your customers complete a streamlined digital onboarding flow that handles KYC, underwriting, and approval automatically. No paperwork, no delays — merchants start processing fast.

3. Earn Revenue on Every Transaction

Once your merchants are live, you earn a share of every transaction they process through your platform. The more they grow, the more you earn — a true recurring revenue stream.
