Choosing a payment processor is an important business decision. The right fit depends on how your business operates and how your customers prefer to pay.

Start with your business

  • How do customers pay today, and how might that change?
  • Do you sell in person, online, or both?
  • Do you have recurring or subscription payments?

Compare the details

  • Supported payment methods and channels.
  • How pricing and fees are presented.
  • Deposit timing and reporting.
  • Integration with your website, software, or point of sale.
  • Contract terms and onboarding requirements.

Look at support

Ask how you can reach the provider, what kind of help is available, and how questions about your setup are handled.
