Frequently asked questions

Integrated payments refer to payment processing that is embedded directly within a software application or platform, rather than requiring merchants to use a separate payment system. When payments are integrated, transaction data flows automatically between the payment engine and the host software, eliminating manual reconciliation, reducing errors, and creating a more seamless experience for both merchants and customers.

Integrated B2B payment solutions eliminate the friction of manual invoicing, check processing, and separate payment portals by embedding payment acceptance directly into procurement and billing workflows. Buyers can pay via ACH, card, or digital wallet within familiar systems, reducing payment cycle times and administrative overhead. This streamlines the purchase-to-pay process and improves cash flow for both parties.

Integration timelines vary based on complexity and the integration method chosen. CSG Payments' structured onboarding process includes a four-week development phase with weekly status meetings and a dedicated channel engineer. Hosted and low-code options can accelerate timelines significantly. CSG Payments provides comprehensive documentation, Postman collections, and sandbox environments to reduce development time for engineering teams.

Yes. CSG Payments supports white-label and co-branded payment experiences across its partner models. Under the reseller and payment facilitation as-a-service models, partners can brand or co-brand the Dex portal, hosted payment pages, and customer-facing checkout experiences to match their own identity. This allows software providers to deliver a seamless, branded payment experience without building payment infrastructure from scratch.
