The time required to fully onboard a white-label provider typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the services, required customizations, and the provider’s processes. A clear onboarding plan and effective communication can speed up the timeline.
Factors Affecting Onboarding Time
- Scope of Services
- Basic services (e.g., simple branding) may take less time, usually around two weeks.
- Advanced integrations or customizations often require additional time.
- Documentation and Resources
- Availability of clear documentation from both parties ensures faster onboarding.
- Lack of documentation or delays in providing necessary resources can slow the process.
- Technical Integrations
- Standard integrations may take a few days to a week.
- Complex systems with APIs or unique workflows require more extensive testing and development.
- Training and Knowledge Transfer
- Training the client’s team on the white-label platform can take several days.
- Comprehensive training schedules might add a week or more to the timeline.
- Communication and Collaboration
- Prompt responses and alignment on expectations accelerate the process.
- Miscommunication or delays in approvals extend the onboarding period.
Typical Onboarding Process

- Configuration and Customization (1–3 Weeks)

Tips to Speed Up Onboarding
