You don't own your payment stack. Yet.

Most payment infrastructure wasn't designed to be yours. The processor controls your merchant accounts, the card data lives in their vault, and your platform's revenue depends on a relationship that can change without notice. When it does, and eventually it does, your card data moves with them, your merchants get disrupted, and you start over. Building your own vault is an option, until you price the PCI audit and breach liability. There's a third path: infrastructure you actually own, at a cost that doesn't punish you for growing.

What Value.IO Does

Value.IO is a permanent card vault and multi-destination routing gateway built for software platforms, SaaS companies, and marketplace operators embedding payments into their products. You connect once. Your card data is stored in a PCI Level 1 vault that belongs to your platform, not to any processor. From there, you route transactions to Heartland, TSYS, Mercury, FluidPay, NMI, Authorize.net, and hundreds of additional processors through the Inspire Commerce network. If a processor isn't in the network yet, we write the endpoint. Your processor landscape can change entirely; your card data doesn't move.

  • One vault, any processor. Card data stored permanently under your platform. Switch, add, or remove processors without re-tokenizing or migrating data.
  • Route to the right processor for each transaction. Define routing rules by merchant category, geography, or account. Switch processors, add new ones, or restructure your stack without touching card data or rebuilding your integration.
  • Flat, published pricing. $0.05 per card on file. $0.05 per live transaction. No platform fee. No surprise line items.
  • Subscription revenue that doesn't leak. Recurring billing, intelligent dunning, and Network Tokens work together: card data stays current when cards are reissued, failed payments retry on a schedule, and involuntary churn stops being an infrastructure problem.

Six reasons platforms choose Value.IO.

01

Your card data is yours. Permanently.

When you store card data in Value.IO's PCI Level 1 vault, that data belongs to your platform. If a processor relationship ends, if you add a new processor, if you restructure your entire payment stack: the tokenized card data doesn't move and doesn't need to be re-collected. Your customers don't re-enter their cards because your backend changed.

02

You control
the routing rules.

Define which processor handles which transactions, by merchant type, geography, or account configuration. Add processors, remove them, or change your routing logic without migrating data or re-integrating. One connection to Value.IO gives you access to the full processor network.

03

The numbers are published.

Free dev access. $0.05 per card on file. $0.05 per live transaction. No platform fee. No per-API-call charges. The pricing doesn't change based on your volume tier, your processor mix, or your vertical. What you read here is what you pay.

04

Subscription revenue that doesn't leak.

Value.IO includes recurring billing, dunning, and Network Token support. Network Tokens (issued directly by Visa and Mastercard) stay valid when a customer's card is reissued, replaced after fraud, or expires. Dunning retries failed charges on a configurable schedule. For SaaS platforms and subscription marketplaces, involuntary churn stops being an infrastructure problem.

05

We are not
merchant-facing.

Value.IO has no checkout, no merchant portal, no consumer brand. We are infrastructure for platforms, not a competitor for the end relationships you're building. The merchants and customers in your platform are yours. We have no business trying to reach them directly, and we don't.

06

Your card vault stays live.

Value.IO freezes vault access for two reasons: abuse, or non-payment. Not for volume spikes. Not for processor risk scores. Not because someone flagged your category. Operate honestly, pay your bill, and your card data stays yours. That policy is published, not implied.

The numbers are published.

No volume tiers. No surprises. No platform fee.
