Payment service providers · CRM
Keep every merchant's path from enquiry to first payment in one record.
A CRM for a payment service provider records each merchant from first contact through documents, activation, integration and first live payment. GullySales sets up the stages, fields and views so field, support and onboarding teams read the same record.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means
A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For payment service providers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A pipeline that ends at signup hides the real stall”
The delay happens after the form is signed. A CRM with stages only up to signup shows a healthy pipeline while merchants wait for activation with nobody tracking them.
“Field executives record in their own notebooks”
The merchant's shop, the promise made and the document still missing sit in a notebook or a chat. The activation team starts from nothing and asks the merchant again.
“One merchant can have several contacts”
The owner signs, the accountant sends documents and the developer integrates. A CRM that allows one contact per merchant loses two of the three people the onboarding depends on.
“Reasons for a stall are more useful than counts”
Knowing how many files wait is less useful than knowing why: an unclear document, a failed check, a missing integration step. The record has to capture the reason, not only the stage.
What we do
What we deliver for payment service providers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Merchant pipeline stages
Stages from enquiry to documents, review, activation, integration and first payment, with an owner for each.
Result: Every merchant sits at a named stage with a named owner.
Fields for stall reasons
A short list of reasons chosen when a merchant waits, such as missing document or integration pending.
Result: You can count merchants by the reason they are waiting.
Multi-contact merchant records
Links between a merchant and its owner, accountant and developer, each with their role.
Result: Every person involved in a merchant's go-live is on the record.
Mobile entry for field executives
A simple form for recording a visit, a promise and a document checklist from the shop.
Result: Visits reach the activation team as structured entries.
Views for field, onboarding and support
Saved views so each team sees the merchants it must act on.
Result: Each team opens one screen and sees its own work.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries logged in the CRM
