What NMI Blogger is, and isn't

NMI Blogger is an independent publication covering payment gateway platforms, starting with NMI and USAePay, for the ISOs, ISVs, and merchants who have to actually choose between them.

What we cover

Our current coverage focuses on NMI (Network Merchants Inc.) and USAePay: their platform architecture, distribution and partner models, developer tooling, and how their pricing structures typically work. We write from the perspective of a partner or technical buyer evaluating infrastructure, not from a single end-merchant's experience with one reseller.

What we are not

We are not NMI, USAePay, or any processor, acquirer, or partner named on this site. We do not sell payment processing, gateway access, or merchant accounts, and no link on this site is an application or checkout flow for any provider. Nothing here should be read as an endorsement, and nothing here is legal, financial, or compliance advice.

How we research

Our reviews and guides are built from publicly available sources: company documentation, published partner and developer materials, industry reporting, and reseller/merchant commentary in public forums. Where pricing or terms are set individually between a provider and its partners — which is the norm for both NMI and USAePay — we say so explicitly rather than presenting a single number as universal.

Corrections

Platform features, partner terms, and processor certifications change. If something on this site is out of date or inaccurate, let us know and we'll review it.
