Merchant services leads for ISOs are new businesses that just started selling and need a way to accept payments. The freshest ones are launching today. FisherLeads shows you new stores and businesses the day they go live, so ISOs and agents can build a merchant pipeline from businesses that are choosing a processor right now.

Why new merchants are the ISO's best pipeline

An ISO lives on merchant volume, and the easiest merchant to sign is one who has not chosen a processor yet. A business that just launched is exactly that. It has to set up payment acceptance before it can take a dollar, and it has no incumbent to switch away from. Reach it at that moment and you are competing to be chosen, not to displace.

Stop working the same aged lists

Most merchant lead lists are old and shared, so every ISO is calling the same tired names. A launch feed flips that: you are working businesses that came into existence this week, before your competitors even know they exist.

How to build the pipeline

  • See new stores and businesses the same day they launch, filtered to what you write.
  • Narrow by country, category, and the technology already on the site, including the payment gateway a store runs, for replacements and cross-sells.
  • Reach the founder with their public contact and a message that fits a business just getting set up.
  • Save your filter as an alert so fresh merchants flow in daily, or take them through the API into your CRM.

The bottom line

Every business launching is a merchant deciding how to get paid. Be the ISO that reaches them first.
