Can an operator request a provider that is not yet connected?

Yes. When an operator needs a provider that is not in the network, for a new market or for a single merchant, NORBr integrates it on request, certifies it and makes it available to every operator on the platform. Once mapped, the provider behaves like the others for routing, checkout, reconciliation and reporting.

Yes, on request

The global payment network grows from operators' needs. When an operator needs a provider that is not connected, for a new market, a local payment method or a single large merchant's preferred acquirer, NORBr integrates it, certifies it and adds it to the catalog. The operator then activates it as it would any other provider.

How it works

• The operator describes the need: provider, markets, methods, merchants concerned.
• NORBr assesses the provider's API and sandbox, and plans the integration.
• The operator signs its commercial agreement with the provider in parallel.
• Once certified, the provider is mapped to the standard transaction model and available for activation.

What happens after

The provider becomes available to every operator on the platform, which spreads the maintenance over the whole network. It behaves like the others for routing, checkout, reconciliation and reporting: the same transaction record, the same decline code mapping, the same settlement reconciliation. The operator that requested it gains its market entry; later operators find it already there. This is how the network reaches providers no single operator would have integrated alone.
