Pricing for Finix
How pricing changes as you scale: upgrade triggers, cost cliffs, and plan structure (not a live price list).
Freshness & verification
Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Stripe Connect per-merchant fees exceed $50K/year - PayFac economics become favorable
- Platform wants white-label payment experience without Stripe branding constraints
- Payment revenue opportunity exceeds $1M/year - ownership justifies PayFac complexity
- Need complete control over merchant onboarding and underwriting rules
- Small merchants want payment acceptance tools (invoices, payment links) without custom development
What gets expensive first
- PayFac registration costs apply if pursuing full facilitation model ($50K-$150K in legal and compliance setup)
- Platform liable for merchant chargebacks when operating as PayFac - reserve requirements can lock up capital
- International expansion requires additional setup and regional considerations
- API integration has a steeper learning curve than Stripe for teams new to payment facilitation
- Low-code/no-code tools are newer - evaluate feature maturity against established alternatives like Square
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
- Direct Merchant - Low-code/no-code tools (Payment Links, Invoices, Virtual Terminal, iOS App) for merchants of all sizes
- Platform - API-first embedded payments for software companies; interchange++ pricing
- PayFac - Full payment facilitation for platforms that want to own the merchant experience; custom pricing

Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
