The Microsoft Partner Advantage: Grow with Embedded Payments
Read time: 4 minutes
Navigating the Microsoft partner ecosystem can be complex. As a consultant, systems integrator, or implementation specialist, your role extends beyond ERP installations. Clients increasingly expect complete, seamless financial experiences that not only improve efficiency but also support stronger business outcomes.
One area that’s often overlooked? Embedded payments.
By embedding payment solutions directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC), partners have an opportunity to create more connected financial workflows, improve client operations, and differentiate their services.
Why Embedded Payments Matter for Microsoft Partners
For Microsoft partners, payments aren’t just about processing transactions. When thoughtfully embedded, they become a tool for simplifying workflows, reducing manual effort, and increasing financial accuracy. Within Business Central, integrated payments can help partners:
- Expand service offerings → Move beyond core ERP implementations to deliver end-to-end financial solutions.
- Enable recurring value → Create ongoing opportunities through managed services and continuous support.
- Strengthen client relationships → Help clients accelerate cash flow, streamline AR, and reconcile with ease.
- Differentiate in the market → Provide solutions that have a direct, measurable impact on client outcomes.
In other words, embedding payments reframes partners as not just implementers, but as trusted advisors in their clients’ long-term growth journeys.
Real-World Advantages for Microsoft Partners
Deliver A Unified Financial Workflow
Disconnected financial systems lead to errors, delays, and frustration. Embedding payments within Business Central creates a seamless experience—minimizing redundancy, reducing risk, and delivering the automation clients expect.
Establish Ongoing Engagement
Unlike project-based services, integrated payments support a more continuous relationship. Whether through subscription models, transaction facilitation, or support services, partners can stay engaged with clients well beyond go-live.
Deepen Client Trust
Process improvements such as faster cash flow, more accurate reporting, and reduced reconciliation challenges give clients tangible value—strengthening trust and confidence in your expertise.
Differentiate Your Practice
In a crowded ecosystem, specialization sets you apart. Offering embedded payments demonstrates foresight and innovation, qualities that resonate with clients and lead to stronger retention and referrals.
