Crypto payment gateways: the all-in cost at 43 providers

43 crypto payment providers: licences, custody, KYC, and known risks. The main column is the all-in cost — what a 50 USDT payment on Tron costs from acceptance to money in your own wallet. The weights are adjustable: pick a preset or move the sliders.

Processing fee 1.0% = 0.50 USDT
Transfer to balance not charged
Withdrawal fee not charged
Total per payment 0.50 USDT of 50.00 USDT

1% is the all-in cost: Paymos covers the transfer from the invoice address to the balance, and withdrawals carry no percentage fee.

Worth knowing

A 1% fee per paid invoice. There is no separate withdrawal commission, and the network fee is subsidised: on a withdrawal the merchant pays less than the transfer costs. The fee rounds down to the asset’s smallest unit; lower rates on request. Four stablecoins and gold-backed XAUT, accepted on 13 networks and paid out on 11. Eight server SDKs, eight CMS plugins, payment links, an embedded checkout, a browser-based POS terminal, and a Telegram bot. An invoice is issued in one of 46 fiat currencies, and the rate is locked before the payer opens a wallet.

Risks

No BTC or other native coins, no withdrawal to a bank account, and no automatic subscription charges. No public SLA.

Withdrawal fee no withdrawal, the money is already yours
Total per payment 0.25 USDT of 50.00 USDT

We count the own-wallet mode: 0.5%, and the merchant pays no gas. On Tron there is one address — your own; the buyer pays straight to it and covers the network fee, and no second transfer exists. Their docs: “Because payments arrive directly in your wallet, there is no settlement step”. In this mode an address per invoice is issued only on UTXO networks, from an xPub; the embedded wallet also issues one on EVM networks and Solana, but not on Tron.

Worth knowing

Payments to your own wallet or to the embedded one, payment links with recurring billing, and a bot for access to private Telegram groups. The first $15 in fees is free. Pay in instalments (BNPL) is still in development.

Acceptance costs nothing. Outgoing transfers cost “1% + Network Fee”, word for word from their pricing page: the network fee comes on top of the percentage, and the merchant pays it. With Instant Forwarding, such a transfer happens on every payment, so the network fee is counted, at the market cost of 2.5 USDT.

Worth knowing

A fixed fee is available instead of a percentage: as the payment grows, its share falls. Mass payouts to as many as 100 recipients for a single fee, POS as a separate product, and a sandbox on the Bitcoin testnet.

The flow has no merchant wallet at all: the buyer’s crypto is converted to PYUSD, the PYUSD to fiat, and the fiat lands on the PayPal balance. There is nothing to transfer, but the merchant has no invoice address of its own either.

Worth knowing

The buyer pays from their own wallet, and the merchant gets fiat straight away. PYUSD is valued at $1.00 per token, on payment and on refund alike.

Nothing is paid to the service; the cost is your own server. But USDT on Tron runs through a separate Tether USDt plugin, and a TRC20 transfer from the invoice address to a pooled wallet costs about 65,000 energy. On your own server, no one but the merchant pays for it, so we use the market cost: 2.5 USDT. The zero is the service fee, not the all-in cost.

Worth knowing

An open-source payment server for Bitcoin: invoices, POS, payment links, crowdfunding, and Lightning.

The merchant pays gas on every payment, not once per withdrawal: with Gas Station, it is deducted on each incoming payment. A USDT TRC20 transfer costs 5 USDT without Gas Station and 2 USDT with it — we use their best figure, 2. On top comes 0.23% on withdrawal. Without Gas Station, the same payment comes to 10.2%. The percentage is not the main thing: USDT on Tron is available only on the $99.99-a-month plan, and on a single 50 USDT invoice that subscription costs more than any fee in the table.

Worth knowing

A wallet with invoice payments, CMS plugins, and coin swaps in the dashboard. Their Gas Station feature, they say, lowers the network fee on withdrawal.

No licences are stated; the legal entity — Coinremitter Pte Ltd in Singapore — is named only in the terms, not on their “About us” page.

The “from 0.4%” on the site is the floor, while new merchants get 2% — the same figure as in the sample response from their API. On withdrawal they deduct only the network fee, and that stays out of the calculation.

A gateway, a wallet, crypto cards, and an exchange in one service; merchants go through moderation and KYC.

Their pages give three different figures: “less than 1%” in the FAQ, “1% + Provider fees” for the card gateway, and “1.5% flat rate fee + blockchain fees” on the crypto gateway page and in their plugin. We use the last one, 1.5%. There is no intermediate balance: a temporary address for each payment forwards the money to your wallet, and the network charges for that forwarding on top of the percentage — we use the market figure, 2.5 USDT. There is no withdrawal step.

Worth knowing

Payment right on the merchant’s site: an address with a QR code for each order, and every payment goes straight to the merchant’s wallet. No sign-up and no KYC.

Risks

Worth knowing

On the market since 2013, with more than 250,000 merchants by their own count. By default, payments accumulate on a pooled balance; forwarding to your own address can be switched on right after crediting (ASAP) or in a daily batch (Nightly). The buyer pays the network fee on an incoming payment; on withdrawal, the merchant pays only the network fee.

On top comes the network fee for moving the payment from the invoice address to the main address: they have no figure of their own, so we use the market one, 2.5 USDT. Withdrawal is free.

Worth knowing

Auto-conversion to USDT and USDC. By the company’s own figures, 530+ merchants and more than $4 billion in turnover.

Risks

The fees page gives no percentage — “can be discussed with a manager”. There is a transfer to balance, and by default the buyer pays for it, but they publish no TRC20 figure of their own on the deposit side, so we use the market figure. The 2.6 USDT previously shown here was a mistake: that is their network fee for WITHDRAWAL, and the scenario does not count it.

Worth knowing

A processor for iGaming, forex, and other high-risk niches. Conversion to stablecoins (VRCS) carries no fee, but the exchange rate and spread are not disclosed. Subscriptions and mass payouts are available.

Risks

By default, a floating network fee is added to the buyer’s payment: in their example, a 1,000 USDT payment on Tron costs the buyer 1,000.81 USDT — about 10 TRX on top. The merchant can absorb the fee instead, in the settings.

The pricing page has been removed from their knowledge base: it is absent from the 97-URL sitemap, the live URL is stuck in a 301 redirect loop, and a search for “fee” finds nothing. A 2023 archived copy on their domain read “a flat 1% transaction fee on all payments and payouts” — their figure, but three years old and taken down, so we do not count it. In its place goes the standard stand-in: 2% for processing, the same for withdrawal, and 2.5 USDT for the transfer to balance. Their withdrawals to a bank account start at $3,000.

Worth knowing

Works with large clients: stablecoin acceptance and payouts, settlement in local currencies. KYC and KYB, sanctions screening, and the Travel Rule sit on the provider’s side.

Risks

On 25 July 2026, wallets of the Singapore entity holding the company’s own assets were hacked. Triple-A does not name the amount; press estimates range from $9.7 million to $11.8 million. MAS and the Singapore police are investigating.

They take no percentage per payment at all: this is a licence for software you install on your own server. But the licence price is not published either — the agreement sends you to the website for it, where it is not listed, and promises to name it at purchase. An address is issued for each invoice, and the merchant pays for the transfer from it to the main wallet: we use the market cost, 2.5 USDT.

Worth knowing

Installed on your own server; the keys never leave the merchant. Gas for transfers is held on separate gas-station addresses for ETH, TRX, and BNB.

Nothing is paid to the service: the cost is your own server. USDT on Tron is supported natively, but a TRC20 transfer from the invoice address to a pooled wallet costs about 65,000 energy — around 2.5 USDT at the current TRX price, and in a self-hosted setup that is the merchant’s expense. The zero is the service fee, not the all-in cost.

Worth knowing

Open-source payment processing on your own server. In the basic mode, neither Bitcart nor the owner of a third-party server takes a percentage: payments go straight to the merchant’s wallet. The NVD vulnerability database has no entries for Bitcart.

Risks

Worth knowing

Their Official SDKs and Plugins section shows four SDKs and four plugins with ready-made install commands, but every one is marked Coming Soon, with a note underneath that all of it is in development. So the feature checklist credits them with zero integrations, although the site displays eight.

“We do not charge fees for accepting and withdrawing cryptocurrencies” — their wording.

We use the market figure, 2.5 USDT.

Worth knowing

Open source: install it on your own server or run it in their cloud — either way, with no fee to the provider. A payment arrives at a deposit address and is forwarded from there to the merchant’s wallet.

Crypto payment gateway shortlist

How the score works

Each provider has five scores, one per criterion, from 1 to 10. The total is their weighted average, with the weights set above, on the same ten-point scale. The scores are editorial and rest on public data.

Regulation

10 — MiCA CASP authorisation together with a payment licence, or a regulated PSP. 7–8 — a licence held by the provider’s group or by its owner. 4–5 — MSB registration or offshore licences. 5 — self-hosted software that needs no licence. 3 — no public licences found, or no MiCA authorisation while an application is pending. 2 — custodial holding with no licences and no KYC. 1 — a regulator’s fine or a blockchain-analytics flag.

Reliability

9–10 — many years on the market, large volumes, no public incidents. 7–8 — several years of stable operation. 5–6 — a mid-length track record, or little data. 3–4 — a young provider, a past hack, or an opaque ownership structure. 1–2 — regulator sanctions or a blockchain-analytics flag.

How the cost is calculated

Every provider gets the same payment: a 50 USDT invoice on Tron, followed to the end — until the money is in the merchant’s wallet. Four amounts add up: the processing fee, fixed fees, the transfer from the invoice address to the balance, and the withdrawal fee. We leave out the network fee on a withdrawal, but only when the provider passes it on at cost and makes its money elsewhere: that fee is paid once per withdrawal, not on every payment. If the provider’s whole price sits on the withdrawal, it counts — otherwise the provider would look free. The Tron transfer is taken at 2.5 USDT wherever the provider names no price of its own. Who pays, merchant or buyer, does not change the total: a fee passed on to the buyer is still part of the price of the sale, and the breakdown shows whose pocket it comes from. Where the money lands straight in the merchant’s wallet, there is no withdrawal at all. The arithmetic is in each provider’s expanded row.

The transfer fee is part of this number. Moving money from the invoice address to a pooled wallet costs something on every network. Providers that publish their own figure: Coinremitter (2 USDT) and Trybit (1.4 USDT). For everyone else we use the market cost of a USDT transfer on Tron — 2.5 USDT. Where a provider does not charge this fee, the breakdown says “not charged”.

The ≈ sign marks providers whose rate we could not find — “individual”, “by agreement”, “contact us”, or no figure at all. In its place we use 2% plus the transfer fee. That is not the provider’s price but the top of the usual market range. So everyone under ≈ carries the same rate, and it says nothing about how they compare. A published figure will replace it.

Cost

The score comes from the all-in cost, not from the rate in the price list: up to 0.5% — 10; up to 1% — 9; up to 1.5% — 8; up to 2% — 7; up to 3% — 6; up to 5% — 5; up to 6% — 4; up to 7.5% — 3; above that — 2. A price-list rate covers processing only and says nothing about the transfer, so it gets no scale of its own. Providers under ≈ are scored on the stand-in 2%, not on their real price: once they publish it, the score will change. Conversion spreads are left out for everyone — almost no one discloses them.

Features

The score comes from a checklist in four groups: how the provider takes an invoice — an address and QR code for each invoice, underpayment, overpayment, paying in parts or late, a rate held for the life of the invoice; what it does with the money — mass payouts, subscriptions, auto-conversion, fiat withdrawal, refunds; how it connects — CMS plugins, server SDKs, a sandbox, payment links, an embedded checkout, POS, Telegram; how a team works with it — roles and fiat invoice currencies. The number of assets and networks does not affect the score. A feature the provider describes nowhere is not counted.

Ease of onboarding

9–10 — sign-up in minutes, with no KYC or a minimal check. 7–8 — self-serve onboarding with a review. 5–6 — mandatory KYB. 3–4 — onboarding only through a manager, or you host it yourself. 1–2 — available only in certain countries.

A dash in the cost column means the provider cannot take a USDT invoice on Tron. Those rows sit below all the others, whatever their score: there is one scenario here, and a provider that cannot run it does not compete with those that can. Their score stays visible — it tells you the provider is serious, just not for this job. “No data” means nothing turned up in public sources. “Not found” in the MiCA column means we did not come across an authorisation in the material we reviewed; check the ESMA register. “N/A” means not applicable.

What changed over the past year

  • October 2025 FINTRAC fined Xeltox Enterprises Ltd., the operator of Cryptomus, 176.96 million Canadian dollars — the largest penalty in the agency’s history; the company has appealed. MoonPay brought Helio’s products under the MoonPay Commerce brand.
  • 6 November 2025 The Central Bank of Ireland fined Coinbase Europe €21.46 million for failures in transaction monitoring.
  • 31 March 2026 Coinbase Commerce shut down. Its replacement, Coinbase Business, is open to merchants in the US and Singapore.

Decision snapshot

What changes the operating decision

01

Time to a live payment

Measure the self-serve path through first broadcast or detection on supported mainnet, then assess blockchain confirmation and finality separately.

02

Verification and activation

Separate upfront onboarding steps from verification that may be triggered later by risk, limits, or regulation.

03

Accepted and settled asset

Check whether the accepted asset reaches the merchant balance unchanged or passes through conversion.

04

Complete payment path

Model processing, fixed charges, payer network cost, collection, conversion, withdrawal fee, and minimum.

05

Integration coverage

Confirm the exact server language, CMS, webhook behavior, and test-to-live contract your team needs.

06

Operational controls

Review custody, signing, withdrawal controls, reconciliation, refunds, limits, and support ownership.

Paymos product proof

Four facts to test before comparing providers

01

About 10 minutes to a first live payment

The normal self-serve benchmark takes about 10 minutes from sign-up: create a project, test in Sandbox, switch the dashboard to Production, create separate live credentials, create a live invoice, and reach the point where its payment is broadcast or first detected on supported mainnet. The benchmark stops there: blockchain confirmation and finality depend on the network, amount, and conditions. It is not an SLA.

02

Start without an upfront document pack

You can begin without submitting business documents upfront and without manual Production activation. Verification can still be requested later under risk, limit, or regulatory policy.

03

One contract across test and live modes

Sandbox and Production use the same API contract with separate credentials. Sandbox simulates supported flows; it does not move real assets.

04

Official integration paths for code and CMS

Paymos maintains eight official server SDKs and eight official CMS plugins, alongside direct API integration.

Paymos cost path

Follow the payment beyond the processing rate

The payer's wallet pays the send-network fee (gas). Paymos covers acceptance and consolidation network costs and does not add a separate transfer or sweep commission. The accepted asset reaches the merchant balance unchanged. A withdrawal has no processing commission; its disclosed subsidized network fee and minimum depend on the selected asset-network route.

  1. 01

    The payer sends the selected asset and pays the wallet network fee.

  2. 02

    Paymos accepts and consolidates the payment without a separate transfer or sweep commission.

  3. 03

    The same accepted asset is credited to the merchant balance after the 1.0% Standard processing fee.

  4. 04

    The merchant sees the subsidized withdrawal network fee and route minimum before confirming withdrawal.

Fit boundary

Paymos is not the answer to every payment brief

  • You need card processing in the same integration.
  • You require native BTC acceptance today.
  • You need to cash out to a bank account.
  • You require a non-custodial settlement model.
  • Your checkout depends on a native mobile SDK.
  • You need marketplace split payments between multiple sellers.

Validate the fit

Run the same payment path in Paymos

Open the dashboard for the primary path, or start in Sandbox with the same API contract and separate test credentials.

Paymos compiled this comparison and is one of its rows. The scores are editorial; the data comes from public sources, was rechecked against each provider’s own pages, and is current as of . This is not an audit, and it is not legal or investment advice. Fees and licences change — before you sign up, check the contract and the ESMA register.
