The ability to manage your merchant portfolio seamlessly, gain actionable insights, and deliver exceptional service is critical in maintaining the overall health of your entire portfolio. 

At Clearent, we have been thoughtfully building a portfolio management system on the foundation of 20+ years of payment experience with the last 6 years solving these challenges in real-time for our own software platforms and sales partners. 

In result, we’ve created a portfolio management system that simplifies merchant management, onboarding, data analytics, and support into a single, user-friendly interface.  

In this blog, we’ll explore the key features and benefits of our new Partner Portal. 

Simplified Portfolio Management 

Managing a merchant portfolio can be complex, requiring multiple tools to handle all different aspects. Our Partner Portal eliminates this complexity by providing an all-in-one solution that integrates portfolio management, merchant onboarding, data analytics, and support resources into a single, streamlined platform. This centralization means that instead of juggling various tools and platforms, partners can now manage everything in one place, contributing to increased productivity.  

Real-Time Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Dashboard 

Simple visuals paired with a robust dashboard to deliver you real-time insights into key performance indicators (KPIs). This clear and concise summary overview of essential metrics like transaction volumes, approval rates andchurn rates, provides partners with quick access into their overall portfolio performance fueling informed decisions. This real-time visibility allows partners to spot trends, address issues promptly, and strategically guide their growth efforts. 

Streamlined Application Processing 

Seamless merchant onboarding and visibility into merchant application statuses is essential when it comes to portfolio management. By streamlining the application process, partners can quickly and easily onboard new merchants without unnecessary steps or complications.  

Visibility into merchant applications statuses provides the actionable insights partners needs to help support merchants as they go through the onboarding and underwriting processes. These efficiencies not only saves time but also allows partners to focus on growing their business, knowing that the onboarding process is both reliable and user-friendly for their customers.  

Seamless Merchant Portal Access 

Our Partner Portal offers seamless access between the partner and merchant portals, providing a unified experience that simplifies navigation. This feature allows partners to effortlessly switch between portals, gaining the same view and access to merchant-facing features and data that their customers see. 

This ensures that partners can manage their relationships more effectively, with a clear understanding of what their merchants see and experience. By providing this level of transparency and convenience, partners are empowered to deliver better service and respond to merchant needs more swiftly. 

Comprehensive Reporting Suite 

A merchant portfolio management system isn’t complete without a comprehensive reporting suite. Our new Partner Portal features comprehensive reporting that gives partners access to a wide range of detailed reports, including residuals and interchange reports. These reports provide deep insights into portfolio performance, enabling partners to analyze key metrics and trends with precision. 

Never Miss a Beat with Report Subscriptions 

Partners are also able to easily set up automated deliveries of the reports they rely on most, ensuring they receive timely data without the need for manual requests. 

Self-Service Support Center 

A well-structured and an ever-improving Support Center offers easy access to essential resources like the Developer Center, FAQs, and support contact information. This organized support system enhances the user experience by making it simple to find help and resources when needed, minimizing downtime and ensuring partners can resolve issues quickly.
