The right payment gateway depends on more than the headline transaction
fee. Your website platform, payment methods, transaction profile,
customer locations and technical requirements can all affect which
providers may be suitable.
If you’re still working out which type of gateway or integration your
business needs, visit our
payment gateway advice hub
for guidance on gateway types, integrations, APIs, recurring payments,
international payments and choosing the right setup.
01
Platform & integration
Your website, ecommerce platform or software can determine which
gateway integrations and providers are practical.
02
How customers pay
Cards, payment links, subscriptions, recurring payments and other
payment methods can require different gateway capabilities.
03
Transaction profile
Monthly card turnover and average transaction value can influence
provider fit, pricing and the acquiring setup behind the gateway.
04
Customer locations
Selling in the UK, internationally or across multiple regions can
affect currencies, payment methods and provider availability.
