What we do at Payconsulting

We help digital businesses structure, optimize and professionalize their payment ecosystem.

We select and negotiate with suitable acquirers and Payment Service Providers (PSPs) based on:

  • Business sector
  • Business model (one-off, subscription, trial, etc.)
  • Estimated volume
  • Jurisdiction and target markets

We design sustainable payment structures, particularly for sectors with greater banking sensitivity.

The Complete Roadmap: 34 Filters, 3 Scenarios

Not every business requires the same payment architecture. Transaction volume, chargeback ratio, target markets and overall risk profile determine which controls should be implemented and in what order.

Our roadmap organises 34 optimisation filters and measures across three scenarios, from a basic payment structure to an advanced operation with active risk management.
