How this data is sourced + kept fresh

Rates, payment method availability, and country coverage are compiled from published rate cards as of 2026, cross-checked against what our clients actually pay. We refresh quarterly.

Rates are typical published figures. Your actual rate depends on volume, business category, and negotiation. Above $50k/month in GMV, expect 20-40% below list prices.

Not affiliate. We don't earn commission for gateway signups. Rankings are based on country-fit + payment method coverage, not sponsorship.

Why this matters

Picking the wrong gateway costs you 20-40% conversion.

Every "best payment gateway" article online is ranked by affiliate commission, not by fit. We don't take affiliate payments — we rank by country-fit and payment method coverage.

The cost of picking wrong is huge:

  • A Shopify store in India without UPI loses 60-70% of potential conversions. UPI is 70% of Indian ecommerce checkouts.
  • A WooCommerce store in Brazil without Pix has double the cart abandonment. Pix is 90%+ of Brazilian checkouts.
  • A Shopify store in UAE without Tabby or Tamara misses the entire BNPL wave — which at AOV $50+ lifts MENA conversion 20-40%.
  • A Dutch store without iDEAL loses ~60% of checkouts. iDEAL is 60-70% of Dutch ecommerce.

This tool surfaces the gateway + payment method combination that actually works in your market. Free, honest, no affiliate kickbacks.

Gateway negotiation is real money — at volume.

Above $50k/month processing, every gateway negotiates. Book a call and I'll walk through which gateway to pick, what terms to ask for, and typical ranges based on 500+ merchant negotiations.
