Choosing a payment gateway means matching transaction support to the customers, markets, and payment flows you handle. Compared on payment methods, supported currencies, and payout countries, these options can be assessed against where you accept payments and send funds. Marketplace payments and recurring payments matter for particular business models, while API and SDK coverage offers another point to examine for integration needs. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing round out the cost details. Google Pay, Instamojo, and Mollie are among the named gateways. Consider the payment types you need to support, the regions involved, and whether your systems require specific integration coverage.
35 payment gateways ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
