| Aspect | Fusebox | Converge |
|---|---|---|
| Primary audience | Hospitality / lodging, restaurants, multi‑location enterprises with POS/PMS | Broad: ecommerce, card‑present, SMB to enterprise |
| Typical integration | Between POS/PMS and processors via hosted gateway | Websites/apps via APIs/HPP; in‑person via devices |
| Portal | Fusebox portal (reporting/batch) | Converge web portal & APIs |
Note: Converge powers Hosted Payment Page (HPP) for online checkout. Fusebox is often used behind POS/PMS; it’s not usually a drop‑in “shopping‑cart” gateway.
