About

About paymentgatewaycost.com

Independent vendor-neutral reference for what online payment gateways actually cost. No affiliate links, no referral fees, no quote-routing, no sponsored placements. The site is part of the Digital Signet portfolio.

Direct answer
paymentgatewaycost.com is owned and operated by Digital Signet, founded by Oliver Wakefield-Smith. There are no affiliate links, no referral fees from any vendor on the site, and no sales-call routing. Vendors are listed alphabetically within their published/quote-only group, with the cheapest published rate shown first. We do not infer rates for vendors that have not published one.

Why this site exists

Payment-gateway pricing is one of the murkiest areas of B2B SaaS purchasing. Eight of the biggest acquirers in the world do not publish a rate card. Industry "comparison" sites are uniformly affiliate-driven and pay per quote-form submission. This site exists to provide a single, verifiable reference of what is actually published on each vendor's own pricing page.
