The market is witnessing strong momentum driven by rising internet penetration, growing ecommerce adoption, and a clear preference for hassle-free gift ordering. Today, leading platforms issue hundreds of thousands of gift vouchers every day across thousands of brands and multiple channels, including bank portals and brand apps.&nbsp;But this growth comes with operational complexity. Platforms must manage thousands of merchant relationships, comply with RBI’s PPI norms, and still offer real-time visibility into transactions, commissions, and settlements. Manual workflows and fragmented systems quickly lead to delayed payouts, poor merchant experience, and limited control over fund flows.&nbsp;In this scenario, India’s largest digital gifting and rewards platform decided to rethink how it manages merchants and settlements at scale. Partnering with M2P, the company implemented a <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/merchant-acquiring-solutions/" target="_blank">Merchant Management System (MMS)</a> and prepaid stack to automate merchant lifecycle management, streamline settlements, and support omnichannel voucher journeys, without compromising on compliance.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="8klrsex6v" style="text-align: left">About the Client</h2>India’s top digital gifting and rewards platform powers instant, brand-specific e-gift vouchers for consumers, corporates, and loyalty programs.

How India’s Largest Digital Gifting Platform Scaled Merchant Management with M2P’s MMS

<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2026/01/blog-banner-m2ps-merchant-management-system_main_banner_2000x1000.webp" alt="M2P Merchant Management System (MMS) for Retail Merchants Credit and Lending" title="" id="5cm36vjtu" width="100%" height="253">On paper, retail merchant credit looks like a powerful growth engine. In practice, it often unfolds as a maze of forms, follow-ups, and fragmented systems that slow down everyone involved. As onboarding stretches, disbursements lag, and settlements require manual intervention, friction quietly replaces momentum. This isn’t about lack of effort or ambition, but a structural gap between the needs of modern retail ecosystems and legacy credit architectures, calling for a smarter, integrated approach.&nbsp;In this blog, we explore why traditional merchant credit models break under scale, and how platform-led architectures are rewriting that story, illustrated through a real-world example.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="e0fe09xf7" style="text-align: left">The Backstory&nbsp;</h2>Across the Philippines, thousands of small neighborhood retailers form the backbone of daily commerce. These merchants rely on timely access to FMCG inventory from large distributors and wholesalers, making predictable credit and working capital critical to keeping their businesses running. Without seamless financial support, even high-demand retailers face operational bottlenecks that can stifle growth and limit inclusion.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="kh5f38o89" style="text-align: left">About the Client&nbsp;</h2>A leading digital bank in the Philippines saw both the opportunity and the responsibility in supporting the retail and SME commerce ecosystem. As a prominent digital-first institution offering savings accounts, deposits, loans, insurance, and investment products, the bank set out to deepen its engagement with small and medium-sized retailers.&nbsp;The goal was straightforward: provide credit lines and savings accounts that would help merchants purchase inventory seamlessly, grow sustainably, and remain financially resilient.&nbsp;&nbsp;As adoption accelerated, the bank identified the need to evolve its operational foundations to match its ambition. Manual onboarding, fragmented credit management, and slow settlements created friction at every step, turning a growth engine into a bottleneck. This moment marked a strategic inflection point, one where advancing retail inclusion would be driven not by expanding product breadth, but by building a smarter, more integrated platform designed for scale.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="180qjp5ot" style="text-align: left">Operational Bottlenecks in the Traditional Merchant Credit Model&nbsp;</h2>Conventional merchant credit models evolved around siloed systems—one for onboarding, another for lending, another for payments, and yet another for reconciliation. As transaction volumes grow, these silos create structural weaknesses:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="18uz8rcuu"><li>Onboarding Inefficiencies: Manual KYC and verification processes slow down account activation and delay access to credit for merchants.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="0fu9y53bp"><li>Complex Payment and Settlement Processes: Managing pre-authorized funds and distributor account debits through manual workflows introduces operational inefficiencies and delays.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="e9t8x7cyw"><li>Limited Transaction Controls: The absence of automated capabilities for refunds, EMI options, and promotion management constrains flexibility for both merchants and the bank.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="66fatwda6"><li>Restricted Access Management: A lack of structured User Access Management (UAM) makes it difficult to support different merchant roles and hierarchies securely and efficiently.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="43wtsi3eu"><li>Dispute and Reconciliation Gaps: Without automated workflows, dispute resolution and real-time settlement management become time-consuming and error-prone.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="9wy92596l"><li>Absence of a Purpose-Built Merchant Management Platform: Reliance on a makeshift solution to manage merchants limits operational efficiency, complicates support, and slows the rollout of new products and services.&nbsp;</li></ul>What begins as an operational inconvenience eventually becomes a strategic constraint, restricting scale, innovation, and financial inclusion.&nbsp;Fixing these challenges isn’t about incremental automation. It requires a fundamental shift in how merchant credit is designed and delivered.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="3s9kufijl" style="text-align: left">Introducing the Shift: M2P’s MMS&nbsp;</h2>To move from fragmented execution to scalable inclusion, the bank needed a unified merchant and credit platform that connects onboarding, lending, payments, settlements, and reconciliation in real time.&nbsp;This was where a unified Merchant Management System (MMS) came into play.&nbsp;Rather than stitching together point solutions, the bank adopted an integrated merchant management platform that acted as a single control layer across the merchant lifecycle, combining compliance, credit, payments, and operational governance into one cohesive system.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="q80n2i0e9" style="text-align: left">Inside the Transformation: From Onboarding to Settlement&nbsp;</h2>By implementing M2P’s Merchant Management System (MMS) with an integrated credit management framework, the bank restructured its merchant credit journey.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="hxvo9prny" style="text-align: left">1. Merchant Onboarding and Credit Enablement&nbsp;</h3>Automated Merchant Onboarding: Multi-level hierarchy support for onboarding merchants, sub-merchants, and distributors based on their role and credit eligibility.&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="9y630ymsw"><li>Onboarded both retailers and FMCG/Brand/Distributors with a different onboarding process based on the type of merchant, with their own rules and processes.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="s70bbtfzw"><li>Created bank accounts in the client's CBS for the merchants post all the regulatory checks and processes.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="w64ir0r27"><li>Powered the merchant mobile application for onboarding, payments, loan origination, settlements, etc.&nbsp;</li></ul>Loan Origination System (LOS) Integration: Seamlessly linked with the bank’s systems to perform AML checks, KYC document verification, and dedupe during account creation.&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="vth44r3r3"><li>Supported credit lines for retailers with multiple distributors.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="1fdui5amr"><li>Combined repayment cycle for multiple loans with different distributors, with interest free period and minimal interest rates.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="mpv9qfiht"><li>Automated repayments from retailers to distributors.&nbsp;</li></ul>User Access Management (UAM): Role-based access control for operational teams and merchants, ensuring secure access and visibility.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="hhmnnz7c1" style="text-align: left">2. Pre-Authorization and Capture Payment Flow&nbsp;</h3>Payments:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="vpggozwp0"><li>Pre-Auth Flow: Funds were blocked from the retailer’s account at the time of order placement, ensuring order security.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="nyro6hda0"><li>Capture on Delivery: Funds were debited only upon successful delivery of goods, reducing disputes and increasing trust.&nbsp;</li></ul>Settlements:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="yinnu5udc"><li>Timely Automated Settlements: Ensured efficient fund disbursements with reduced manual intervention.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="0nwou9o84"><li>Refund Management: Allowed instant refunds in case of failed transactions or order cancellations.&nbsp;</li></ul>Dispute Management:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="md3b9xw0d"><li>Dispute Resolution: Dedicated dispute management tools for quick issue resolution between retailers and wholesalers.&nbsp;</li></ul>Merchant Dashboard and Reporting:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="l2ktri77t"><li>Integrated Merchant App: Powered Bank's merchant app end-to-end with real-time transaction tracking, settlement updates, and dispute resolutions.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="fn0ow23tz"><li>Advanced Analytics and Reporting: Enabled data-driven decision-making with insights into retailer performance, credit utilization, and payment trends right on the merchant and operations dashboard of M2P MMS.&nbsp;</li></ul><h3 class="heading-node" id="d4eafeelo" style="text-align: left">3. Reconciliation and Compliance &nbsp;</h3>End-to-End Reconciliation: Automated tracking of payment statuses, blocked funds, and settlements minimized errors.&nbsp;Regulatory Compliance: AML and KYC verification ensured compliance with banking regulations.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="tc2gy1a5a" style="text-align: left">Outcome Achieved: From Friction to Flow&nbsp;</h2>The transformation delivered tangible, business-critical results:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="ps6m8xxll"><li>80% faster merchant onboarding, accelerating activation and revenue realization&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="t1muszesz"><li>60% improvement in operational efficiency, driven by automation across settlements and reconciliation&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="kynf07dwe"><li>Stronger merchant engagement, enabled by real-time tracking, promotions, and dispute resolution&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="545vtpkcj"><li>Reduced settlement delays and disputes, reinforcing trust across the ecosystem&nbsp;</li></ul><h2 class="heading-node" id="849cisj8a" style="text-align: left">Next Steps: Scaling the Ecosystem&nbsp;</h2>M2P’s Merchant Management System transformed the bank’s SME credit offering by integrating onboarding, payments, and lifecycle management into a seamless, unified process. By implementing a pre-authorization and capture model, the platform ensured that transactions remained secure and reliable, while automated settlements, User Access Management (UAM), dispute resolution, EMIs, and promotions enhanced operational efficiency and strengthened trust across the retail ecosystem.&nbsp;With these foundational capabilities in place, the bank is now positioned to expand its offerings further, extending credit cards to retailers, enhancing BNPL programs with targeted promotions, and reinforcing onboarding, credit, and transaction risk management through advanced fraud and risk modules. This platform-led approach sets the stage for scalable growth, deeper financial inclusion, and a more resilient merchant ecosystem.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="4tdtmu61o" style="text-align: left">Looking Ahead&nbsp;</h2>For banks looking to modernize merchant-led credit ecosystems, platform-driven solutions like M2P’s Merchant Management System provide a proven blueprint for scale, operational efficiency, and long-term impact. By unifying credit, payments, compliance, and lifecycle management into a single platform, banks can move beyond fragmented systems to deliver seamless experiences for merchants and customers alike.&nbsp;Discover how your institution can unlock growth and inclusion. <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/contact-us/?activeKey=1#utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=MMS&amp;utm_campaign=case+study+2" target="">Schedule a demo today!&nbsp;</a>Follow us on&nbsp;<a class="link fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/m2pfintech/mycompany/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a class="link fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" href="https://twitter.com/m2pfintech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>&nbsp;for insightful fintech bytes curated for curious minds like you.

How M2P’s MMS Transformed Merchant Credit for a Leading Digital Bank: A Case Study

<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2025/12/case_study_blog_v2_1.webp" alt="Merchant Management System (MMS), Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)" title="" id="vxb968o1h" width="100%" height="253">BNPL adoption is accelerating globally but scaling it successfully is a far more complex challenge. It demands real-time payment rails, streamlined merchant hierarchies, and robust systems that can handle compliance and high-volume settlements.

It encompasses various functionalities, including payment setup, transaction management, settlement &amp; payout management, and customer support integration, all aimed at improving operational efficiency. By managing merchant relationships and processing transactions efficiently, an MMS empowers businesses to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced digital payment landscape.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="ju65rri8k" style="text-align: justify">Key Features of a Merchant Management System&nbsp;</h2><h3 class="heading-node" id="3vp4jewbb" style="text-align: justify">Merchant Onboarding&nbsp;</h3>The onboarding process begins with merchants submitting applications along with required documentation for verification. KYC procedures validate their identity and legitimacy through checks on business licenses and ownership details. A risk assessment follows, evaluating the merchant’s profile through credit checks and performance analysis, leading to application approval or rejection based on these findings.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="sjb5avvar" style="text-align: justify">Account Management&nbsp;</h3>Merchants gain access to a user-friendly dashboard that allows them to manage their accounts, view transaction histories, and track performance. Self-service capabilities enable merchants to update information, manage payment options, and resolve disputes independently.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="d4jy9jszo" style="text-align: justify">Transaction Processing&nbsp;</h3>MMS integrated with payment gateways enables merchants to accept multiple payment methods, including cards, <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/upi-the-driver-of-economic-growth-and-inclusion/">UPI</a>, wallets, and <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/bnpl-the-rising-fintech-star/">BNPL</a>. Its real-time transaction monitoring detects anomalies and fraudulent activities, while advanced reporting and analytics provide merchants with valuable insights to assess and optimize their financial performance.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="82zj4tw16" style="text-align: justify">Settlement &amp; Payout Management&nbsp;</h3>Settlement and payout management are integral components of an MMS. They facilitate the efficient transfer of funds to merchants, ensuring payments are processed accurately and in a timely manner. This system supports multiple settlement cycles, automated dispute processing, and detailed reporting, enhancing overall merchant operations and financial management.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="7cz6izs7t" style="text-align: justify">Campaign Management&nbsp;</h3>Campaign management provides the strategic planning, execution, and tracking of promotional activities like offers, discounts, or loyalty programs. It enables businesses to target specific customer segments, enhance engagement, and boost sales. Effective campaign management ensures seamless coordination and measurable outcomes for marketing initiatives.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="1n7uyp8jh" style="text-align: justify">Dispute Management&nbsp;</h3>Automated dispute processing streamlines workflows for efficient case management. Clear communication channels are maintained between merchants and service providers to address transaction-related issues promptly.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="icjti465c" style="text-align: justify">Risk Management&nbsp;</h3>Advanced fraud detection tools monitor transactions in real time to identify potential fraud. Compliance monitoring ensures adherence to regulations like <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/pci-dss-a-quick-guide-to-its-levels/">PCI DSS</a> and AML laws.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="85gyzmd4x" style="text-align: justify">Benefits of Owning an Advanced Merchant Management System</h2>Merchant Management System plays a crucial role in ensuring regulatory compliance by helping institutions adhere to <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/know-your-customer-kyc-the-need-for-authentication/">KYC</a> (Know Your Customer) and <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/how-to-combat-money-laundering-2/">AML</a> (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations.

Robust reporting and analytics features help track KPIs and generate financial reports, enabling informed decision-making.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="99z47gc2x" style="text-align: justify">How to Choose the Right Merchant Management System?</h2>Selecting the right Merchant Management System (MMS) is crucial for driving efficiency and ensuring smooth operations.
