REAL-TIME PAYMENT BLOCKCHAIN
Merchant Service
Provider Roadmap
Merchant Service Providers (MSP’s aka ISO’s) are an integral part of the current payment networks, providing equipment and services to the merchant. They will find themselves at home with GRAFT Network by either extending their product/service lineup or by representing GRAFT Network exclusively.
GRAFT Merchant Service Provider
GRAFT Merchant Service Providers (MSP’s) act as a “last mile” of the network – they maintain customer (merchant) relationship. they are the ones the customer calls on if they have any issues, they are also often the ones to fulfil the role of the pay-out broker, and possibly the proxy supernode.
GRAFT MSP’s earning potential depends on their business model and could consist of gateway fees (0.1%), payout fees (0.25%), and any additional per-transaction,or flat fees that make up MSP’s business model and they agree on with the customer.
GRAFT project team is putting together Payment Gateway software to help MSP’s get started on the GRAFT network by offering things like merchant and end-point management, provisioning, configuration, and monitoring.
