Review Methodology

Criteria

We score gateways across merchant fit, fee transparency, developer effort, API documentation, webhook design, security controls, asset coverage, support burden, and alternative fit.

Evidence Standard

Technical claims are tied to official documentation where possible. Opinion sections are labeled as editorial judgment and include counterarguments or cases where the reviewed product is not the best option.

Update Policy

We update pages when official documentation, public fee pages, API behavior, or product positioning changes materially.
