Embed
Embed provides payment infrastructure for software platforms through one integration covering ecommerce, point-of-sale, and subscription payments. Platforms can configure tiered, blended, or cost-plus pricing by customer segment. Balance accounts, flexible rules, and APIs support moving funds among multiple parties and scheduling or requesting payouts. Embed also offers domestic virtual IBANs across Europe, safeguarded by tier-one banks. Documented payment methods include cards, open banking, SEPA, SEPA Direct Debit, iDEAL, and Vipps. Integration guides cover payment components, links, in-person payments, recurring payments, and balance accounts. A functional sandbox supports integration and payment tests, test-merchant onboarding, credential management, and reconciliation-report downloads. The service provides reports for finance and accounting and support through integration, verification, onboarding, and operations. Embed states PCI-DSS compliance and describes regulatory coverage through Embed B.V. and Embed Pay Ltd. It is paid, has no free plan, and lists a pay-as-you-go option with no monthly fees; transaction pricing is €0.15 gateway fee plus IC+ + 0.50% for cards.
