Streamline the Merchant Boarding Experience
Merchant Central makes it simple to board approved merchants quickly and accurately. A centralized boarding platform connects directly with leading payment processors, allowing operations teams to submit merchant applications from a single interface without switching between multiple systems.
Streamlined Merchant Onboarding
Faster Merchant Onboarding Through Automation
By automating data transfer and streamlining processor submissions, Merchant Central reduces manual work, improves accuracy and helps merchants begin processing payments sooner. Teams can submit merchant applications faster, dramatically increasing operational capacity while maintaining consistency across every account.
A Single Platform for Merchant Onboarding
Our centralized approach simplifies training, improves operational efficiency and allows teams to manage processor relationships without adding complexity to their workflows.
Unified Merchant Onboarding Platform
Merchant Central provides a unified environment for submitting merchant applications across multiple processors. Instead of navigating separate processor portals, teams can manage boarding from one centralized interface.
The platform automatically configures each application to match the requirements of the selected processor, ensuring submissions are complete and correctly formatted.
- Merchant Central integrates with leading processor onboarding systems, including:
- Fiserv AccessOne Omaha
- Fiserv AccessOne North
- TSYS ELAPP
- TSYS Express and PPM
- Paysafe iAccess
- Priority Payments MXConnect
- Worldpay MAG (formerly Vantiv)
- Elavon
- Clearent
TurboApp Automated Merchant Boarding
TurboApp is Merchant Central’s automated boarding engine, designed to streamline application submission and eliminate repetitive manual entry.
Merchant Onboarding in Five Simple Steps
- File Upload: Select processor and assign sales reps, upload MPA, void check and any additional documentation
- Corporate Info: Review and complete any information not auto-populated
- Location Info: Review and complete any information not auto-populated
- Rates & Fees: Confirm the rates and fees for transactions and services
- Review & Submit: Transfer the application to the processor’s underwriting department
Faster, Error-Free Merchant Boarding
Instead of entering hundreds of fields manually, TurboApp automatically populates processor boarding applications using merchant data already captured within the platform. Default pricing plans can also be configured so that rates and fees populate automatically, requiring adjustments only when necessary.
The result is a faster, more reliable boarding process. What traditionally takes up to 30 minutes can be completed in as little as five minutes, even by new team members.
Integrated eSignature Workflows
Automatically Populate Applications From Signed MPAs
Merchant Central integrates directly with built-in eSignature capabilities, allowing merchant processing applications (MPAs) to be completed and signed electronically.
Once an MPA is signed, TurboApp automatically extracts the merchant’s information and populates the processor boarding fields. This removes the need to manually transfer data between documents and processor portals.
Automating this step not only speeds up boarding but also reduces the risk of errors that can delay approvals or impact pricing accuracy.
Reusable Electronic Applications
Merchant Central allows teams to create reusable merchant processing applications that can be sent electronically to new merchants.
Administrators simply configure the required fields once. The platform then generates a digital application with built-in electronic signature functionality that can be shared with applicants whenever needed.
This ensures consistent information collection across every merchant submission while making the application process faster and easier for merchants.
Built to Scale With Your Operations
Merchant Central’s boarding capabilities help payment providers handle growing merchant volumes without increasing operational complexity. By automating data entry, standardizing processor submission, and centralizing workflows, teams can increase productivity while maintaining accuracy and control.
Key capabilities include:
- Centralized merchant boarding across multiple processors

We were looking for a product that could consolidate all of our acquirers we’re working with. [Merchant Central] was the only one in the market out there that successfully integrates with all the acquirers so we can pull the data in and have that information available for our sales reps.
