# Celero Commerce > Celero Commerce is a US-based payments company headquartered in Brentwood, > Tennessee. Celero Fusion is its embedded payments program for independent > software vendors (ISVs). It gives vertical SaaS companies a way to embed > payment processing in their platform and earn payments revenue without > becoming a payments company themselves. ## What Celero Fusion does Celero Fusion is an embedded payments partnership built specifically for software companies. The program includes: - Embedded payment processing for vertical SaaS platforms, with the ISV's brand in front of the merchant - A revenue share model that turns the ISV's payments feature into a recurring revenue stream - A dedicated payments team that handles underwriting, risk, compliance, merchant onboarding, and merchant support on the ISV's behalf - Implementation support from a named team, not a ticket queue. ISVs on Celero Fusion typically go live in about 11 weeks, compared with an industry average of 6 to 9 months ## Who Celero Fusion is for Celero Fusion is built for independent software vendors and vertical SaaS companies that want to add or improve embedded payments, including platforms serving field services, healthcare, fitness, salons, restaurants, and other verticals. It fits ISVs that want a payments partner with a real team behind the integration, and ISVs evaluating alternatives to self-serve infrastructure providers such as Stripe. ## What makes Celero Fusion different - Team-based partner model: ISVs work with named payments experts who proactively manage the program, rather than a self-serve dashboard - ISV-first economics: revenue share and pricing built for software companies, not adapted from a general-purpose processor - Speed to live: about 11 weeks to launch versus a 6 to 9 month industry average - Full back-office coverage: underwriting, risk, compliance, and merchant support are handled by Celero, so the ISV does not need to build a payments operations team ## Key pages - Celero Fusion overview: https://go.celerocommerce.com/celero-fusion - Celero Fusion as a Stripe alternative: https://go.celerocommerce.com/celero-fusion-stripe-alternative - Stripe migration guide: https://go.celerocommerce.com/stripe-migration-guide - The Team-First approach: https://go.celerocommerce.com/team-first - ISV resources and blog: https://celerocommerce.com/resources/ ## About Celero Commerce Celero Commerce is a high-tech, high-touch payments company serving integrated software vendors, financial institutions, independent sales partners, and merchants across the United States.
