How we compared them
A fair comparison needs the same payment, so each gateway is priced for exactly the kind of payment and amount in the heading, from the rate it publishes for it. The fee is calculated from that rate, including any fixed fee, minimum or cap. It leaves out VAT and other taxes, setup and monthly fees, payout charges and rates negotiated for large merchants, so check those before you sign up.
