Unify payments across processors, gateways, channels
Run Payments unveiled Run Merchant, a new application built to unify payment operations across multiple processors, gateways and channels. The platform provides merchants and their partners with a single hub for transactions, reporting, dispute management and optimization, areas often fragmented across several systems, the company stated.
At its core, Run Merchant normalizes payment data from credit card and ACH transactions, enabling real-time visibility across all locations and sales channels, Run Payments explained. Features include a virtual terminal, hosted payment pages, APIs for integration, secure card-on-file storage, and vault tools to streamline repeat purchases. A click-to-dispute manager helps businesses stay ahead of chargebacks, while reporting and analytics deliver insights from every transaction source, Run Payments added.
The platform also supports Level 2 and Level 3 interchange optimization, aligning with Visa's Commercial and Enterprise Data Processing (CEDP) framework, which helps businesses save money on B2B transactions, the company affirmed. Early users report meaningful benefits. Peter Rogers, Echo Global Logistics chief financial officer, said Run Merchant "streamlines reconciliation across our network and simplifies chargeback dispute management—all in one platform."
Easy integration
Run Merchant works with Fiserv, TSYS, CardPointe, Payroc and iStream, among others. For partners, it connects directly to Run Partner, the company's merchant management and residuals hub. This allows ISOs, ISVs and financial institutions to board new merchants quickly, provision Run Merchant automatically and monetize faster, Run Payments mentioned. Developers can embed payment and transaction features directly via Run's APIs.
Customers are already seeing real-world impact. Power Home Remodeling integrated Run Merchant into its Nitro platform. Senior Vice President Dave Genet said that by embedding Run's API-driven payments, "we've made the payment process just as efficient as the rest of our remodeling projects."
Run Payments CEO Rob Nathan underscored the goal of simplifying complexity, stating,"Too often, businesses juggle multiple systems. Run Merchant brings everything together in one orchestrated view, so they can act faster and focus on growth."
By unifying payments, reporting and dispute management in a single experience, Run Merchant helps merchants and partners cut through complexity, stay compliant and optimize costs—delivering a streamlined solution in an increasingly fragmented payments landscape, the company noted.
