Why it matters
Every transaction your customers run pays you back.
When you embed payments through Pulse, a percentage of every dollar your merchants process becomes revenue share — deposited automatically, month after month, with no work on your end. The bigger your merchant base, the more it compounds.
What's inside
Built so you never have to think about the math.
Monthly direct deposit
Your revenue share hits your bank account on the first of each month. No invoice to send, no wire to chase, no reconciliation to run.
Full merchant visibility
See exactly which merchants contributed to each payout — volume, net revenue, and your share — down to the individual MID.
Growth forecasting
As more of your customer base activates payments, Pulse projects your forward revenue share so you can plan accordingly.
Risk and chargeback monitoring
Stay ahead of disputes that erode net revenue. Every risk event flows back to the merchant record so your payout stays clean.
Payout history and audit trail
Every cycle is archived — amount, calculation inputs, and settlement date. Regulator-ready and M&A-friendly from day one.
One pool, every tier
The split resolves itself, down to the agent.
Apex Merchant Services runs a 65 / 8 / 27 split across the ISO, its director, and its agents. Pulse fans a single net-revenue pool out to every tier — no nested spreadsheet, no manual allocation.

Every payout opens to the merchant level.
Each cycle expands into the merchants behind it — Acme Coffee Co. on MID 482910, Capitol Diner, Northgate Liquors, and the rest — with net revenue and your share on every row, so finance can verify the total to the dollar.
Revenue share isn't a side benefit — it's how embedding payments turns your platform into a compounding asset. Pulse makes sure every transaction lands somewhere you can see and count on.
