  Core Features

Everything You Need to Get Paid

Six core capabilities — engineered for reliability, built for scale, ready for the world.

Smart Payment Routing

AI evaluates 200+ signals in real time to route each transaction to the acquirer most likely to approve it. Merchants see a +12.7% average lift in authorization rates within the first 30 days — without changing a line of code.

+12.7% auth lift

Global Acceptance

Accept iDEAL, SEPA, Swish, Klarna, PayPal, PIX, UPI, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and 190+ more local payment methods. Local acquiring in 30+ markets means lower cross-border fees and higher approval rates.

200+ methods

140ms Authorization

Industry-leading 140ms average auth time — measured end-to-end from API call to response. Our edge-deployed processing nodes in 18 regions worldwide minimize round-trip latency for every transaction.

140ms avg

AI Fraud Layer

Every transaction scored by our 340M-parameter transformer model in under 50ms. Velocity rules, device fingerprinting, behavioral biometrics, and network graph analysis combine for a 94% fraud catch rate.

94% catch rate

Intelligent Retry

Soft declines are automatically retried across alternate acquiring routes using ML-optimised timing and bin routing logic. Merchants recover an average 8.3% of initially-declined revenue without any manual intervention.

8.3% revenue recovered

Developer API

REST API with predictable resource-oriented URLs, JSON everywhere, and meaningful HTTP status codes. 40+ native SDKs, event-driven webhooks, a full-featured sandbox, and 100% test coverage. Go live in hours.

40+ SDKs
create-payment-intent.js
// npm install @paymentgate/node
const Paymentgate = require('@paymentgate/node');

const pg = new Paymentgate('sk_live_••••••••••••');

// Create a Payment Intent (idempotent)
const intent = await pg.paymentIntents.create({
  amount:   14900,         // in cents
  currency: 'eur',
  payment_method_types: [
    'card', 'sepa_debit',

  metadata: {
    order_id: 'ord_8821ab',
    customer: 'cus_K92jdB'
  }
}, { idempotencyKey: 'order-8821ab-attempt-1' });

// Returns immediately; route client_secret to UI
console.log(intent.client_secret);
// "pi_3Px1ab_secret_K8mZ..."

// Webhook confirms final status — never poll
// payment_intent.succeeded → fulfil order

  Customer Stories

Trusted Across Northern Europe

"Switching to Paymentgate was the highest-ROI engineering decision we made in 2024. Auth rate jumped from 91% to 99.6% in the first month. The AI routing alone pays for our entire processing cost."

Mikael Lindström
CTO · NordCommerce AB

"The 140ms auth speed is real — our checkout conversion improved 18% just from the faster UX. Adding Klarna and Swish took 10 minutes. Incredible breadth of payment methods out of one integration."

  FAQ

Common Questions

What card networks do you support?
We support all major card networks: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, and Maestro. Cards from 180+ countries are accepted, including commercial, debit, prepaid, and virtual card types.
How quickly are settlements paid out?
Standard settlement is T+2 (funds in your bank account two business days after capture). Eligible merchants can opt in to Instant Payouts — funds arrive within minutes for an additional 0.5% fee. SEPA settlements run on the same T+2 cycle for EUR-denominated merchants.
What does 99.99% uptime actually mean in practice?
99.99% uptime equates to a maximum of ~52 minutes of unplanned downtime per year. We publish a public status page with real-time incident tracking. Our SLA includes financial remedies — if we miss the target in any calendar month, you receive service credits automatically.
Do I need my own PCI compliance?
No. Using our hosted fields or Paymentgate.js means raw card data never touches your servers. You qualify for the simplest PCI SAQ A questionnaire — just 22 yes/no questions. We handle the full PCI DSS Level 1 cardholder data environment on our infrastructure.
