For Web Designers & Digital Agencies

Every site you build needs payments. Earn for the life of every account.

You already wire up Stripe or PayPal on every client site. Swap in CoreGateway and the same build pays you a monthly residual on every transaction your client processes - for as long as their site is live.

Why agencies pick CoreGateway

The recurring revenue line your agency does not have yet.

Most agencies bill the build, then walk away. Bundling CoreGateway means every site you ship continues paying you for as long as it accepts payments.

Lifetime residual per client

Every client site you build with CoreGateway pays you monthly residual for as long as it processes. Not a one-time bounty - a compounding book of recurring revenue tied to the work you already do.

Hosted Payment Page

Drop-in branded checkout in minutes - perfect for WordPress, Webflow, and custom sites. SAQ A PCI scope keeps your client off the compliance hook. No JS to maintain.

REST API for deeper builds

For custom checkouts, marketplaces, and headless commerce - clean REST + JSON, sandbox keys, developer guide. No XML, no SOAP, no legacy gateway weirdness.

Recurring billing + Card Updater included

If your client charges subscriptions or payment plans, you can ship the recurring flow on the same gateway. The Automatic Card Updater prevents revenue loss when client cards expire.

Lower client fees than flat-rate

CoreGateway uses interchange-plus pricing. Your client can pay less than a flat-rate processor once volume picks up - which means they thank you for the build instead of complaining about the fees.

Dedicated integration support

Real humans on the partner team. Your developer questions get answered. Your client onboarding questions get answered. No ticket-queue gauntlet to navigate.

Where it fits in your build

The client sites where this is a no-brainer.

If you build any of these, CoreGateway slots into the deliverable with zero extra friction. The integration is the same project work you would do anyway.

Custom service business sites

Lawyers, consultants, contractors, agencies, salons - your client takes invoices and deposits. Hosted Payment Page + invoicing covers the whole flow.

Membership & subscription sites

Gyms, clubs, learning platforms, content sites. Recurring billing + customer vault + Card Updater - all in the gateway, no Stripe billing plugin required.

WordPress / WooCommerce builds

Swap WooPayments or Stripe for CoreGateway. Same UX for your client, ongoing residual for you. Works with any custom WooCommerce checkout.

Headless & custom checkout

Next.js, Astro, custom Node/Rails builds, marketplace platforms. The REST API gives you full control over the checkout UX while CoreGateway handles PCI and payouts.

Questions

Web Designer & Agency Partner FAQ.

Why is CoreGateway a good fit for web designers and digital agencies?
Every business site you build eventually needs payments. Integrate CoreGateway's hosted page or REST API and earn ongoing residuals on every transaction the client processes.
How does the agency partner residual structure work?
A monthly residual based on each client's processing volume, with lifetime attribution and direct deposit. The exact percentage is confirmed during onboarding.
Do I need to be a developer to participate?
No. Pure referral means you introduce the client to sales@corecommerce.com and we handle the rest; technical integration earns more but is optional.
Can I integrate CoreGateway into client sites I have already built?
Yes. WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, or custom sites can swap in CoreGateway via the hosted page redirect or a fully branded REST API. Both attribute to your account.
What if my client's site is on Shopify or another platform with built-in payments?
Closed platforms like Shopify require their native payments. CoreGateway fits custom sites, WooCommerce, headless commerce, or anywhere the agency owns the payments integration.
Is there sandbox access for testing before going live?
Yes. Sandbox keys give simulated approvals and declines with full API parity, so your team can build and QA end-to-end before going live. See the developer guide →
