Last updated November 9, 2026. Published by Resub, which is one of the platforms listed. Platforms appear in alphabetical order, not ranked.
To use merchant accounts in your own name, you need a platform that connects them and routes payments between them, not one that runs every sale through its own shared account. For high-risk Shopify and direct-response brands, the practical options are direct-response CRMs with multi-gateway routing (CheckoutChamp, Sticky.io), a gateway with built-in load balancing (Easy Pay Direct) and Resub, which also opens the merchant accounts for you.
What “bring your own merchant account” means
An aggregator such as Stripe or Shopify Payments processes your sales under its own master account. You never hold a merchant ID, and when it reviews your business, every sale stops. A platform that works with your own merchant accounts (MIDs) connects accounts opened in your company’s name, so each one is judged on your own history and several can run side by side.
Get paid in as little as 24 hours
Resub Pay opens dedicated MIDs in your name, routed by Trident — with payouts in as little as 24h on some MIDs.
How we chose
- Connects merchant accounts the business owns, not a shared pool.
- Routes or cascades transactions across several MIDs.
- Works for high-risk verticals such as supplements and subscriptions.
- Fits a Shopify or direct-response stack.
The platforms
CheckoutChamp (Konnektive)
Best for: direct-response brands that want funnels, CRM and multi-gateway billing in one tool.
CheckoutChamp and its Konnektive CRM connect a wide range of payment gateways and merchant accounts, and users report setting rules that send different payments through different processors. You bring and manage the merchant accounts yourself.
Easy Pay Direct
Best for: merchants who want load balancing inside the gateway.
Easy Pay Direct provides high-risk merchant accounts and its own gateway. Its load balancing spreads transactions across several merchant accounts under one gateway login, with a volume limit per account, and it supports multiple merchant accounts when paired with CheckoutChamp.
Resub
Best for: Shopify brands that want the merchant accounts opened for them and routed from one CRM.
Resub is a payment orchestration CRM. Through its network of processing partners, it secures dedicated low- and high-risk MIDs opened in the brand’s own name, then routes every transaction across them. Card tokens stay with the merchant, and payouts can land in as little as 24 hours on the fastest MIDs. Resub is built for Shopify stores selling to US customers, not for teams that want to code their own billing logic.
Sticky.io
Best for: subscription and continuity brands with complex billing.
Sticky.io is a subscription CRM with payment orchestration: you connect gateways and MIDs once, and it routes transactions using performance data and cascades declines to alternative MIDs. It integrates with more than 160 payment gateways and targets high-risk verticals such as nutra.
Comparison
| Platform | Opens the merchant accounts for you | Routing across MIDs | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|
| CheckoutChamp | No | Rule-based routing | Direct-response funnels |
| Easy Pay Direct | Yes, its own high-risk accounts | Load balancing in the gateway | High-risk merchants on many carts |
| Resub | Yes, through processing partners | Routing from the CRM | Shopify brands selling to the US |
| Sticky.io | No | Routing and cascading | Subscription and continuity brands |
Who should choose what
- You already hold several MIDs and run funnels: CheckoutChamp or Sticky.io.
- You want accounts and gateway from one provider: Easy Pay Direct.
- You are a Shopify brand leaving Stripe or Shopify Payments and want the accounts opened and routed for you: Resub.
- You are a large enterprise with developers: an enterprise orchestration platform such as Spreedly, Primer or Gr4vy.
Routing exists for resilience and approvals. Splitting volume to keep each account under card network monitoring thresholds is prohibited, whichever platform you use.

Frequently asked questions
What is payment orchestration?
Software that connects several gateways, processors or merchant accounts and decides where each transaction goes, based on rules or performance data.
Can I use my own merchant accounts with Stripe or Shopify Payments?
No. Both process sales through their own accounts. To use merchant accounts in your own name, you need a gateway, CRM or orchestration platform that supports them.
Do I need more than one merchant account?
Not on day one. A second MID means a single review or freeze no longer stops all sales, which matters more as volume grows.
Is Resub a payment processor?
No. Resub is a payment orchestration CRM. The merchant accounts are opened through its processing partners in the brand’s own name.
