The Embedded Finance page provides insights into merchant adoption of Embedded Finance Engine (EFE) solutions, specifically Merchant Working Capital. From this page, you can:

  • Track the full lifecycle of flex loans—from offer creation to application, approval, and repayment.

  • Monitor open offers to understand current merchant engagement and potential flex loans.

  • View Merchant-level data, including EFE enablement status and loan activity.

  • Analyze residual revenue generated from active loans.

  • Download reports for deeper analysis.

  • Manage the enablement of EFE for each merchant.

By managing EFE enablement and tracking relevant metrics in one place, you can gain visibility into how merchants are interacting with loan offers. This enables you to identify opportunities to increase adoption and make data-driven decisions to support merchant growth.

The following sections describe the features of the Embedded Finance page. To access this page, select Embedded Finance under Admin in the left navigation panel.

View Residual Balance

Embedding financial products within your platform not only addresses your merchants’ financial needs but also helps increase your earnings. By integrating with EFE, you’ll receive payments based on your merchants’ use of embedded financial products. The revenue that you make from these products, known as residuals, is transferred to you as part of your existing payout process.

You can access different reports in the Payrix Pro Portal that display your residual payments at the merchant level, at the disbursement level, or at the total income level. The Embedded Finance Merchant Working Capital (EFMWC) Residual field shows the residuals that you earn through Merchant Working Capital.
