Who is CheckoutCom best for?

Best use cases for CheckoutCom

• Mid-market to enterprise merchants processing $50K-$1M+/month seeking cost reduction
• High-volume e-commerce businesses where 1% fee reduction = significant savings
• Global merchants needing local acquiring in multiple countries
• Businesses with failed transaction issues - optimization engine adds 3-8% revenue
• Companies outgrowing Stripe's pricing but not ready for Adyen's complexity
• Technical teams comfortable with more complex integration for better economics

Who should avoid CheckoutCom?

• Low-volume merchants (<$50K/month) - Checkout.com won't onboard or pricing non-competitive
• Startups needing fast launch - integration complexity delays go-to-market
• Non-technical teams wanting plug-and-play like PayPal or Square
• Businesses prioritizing developer experience over cost optimization
• Require extensive third-party integrations - Stripe's ecosystem vastly larger
• Need transparent pricing upfront - Checkout.com requires sales negotiation

Upgrade triggers for CheckoutCom

• Transaction volume hits $250K/month on Stripe - Checkout.com IC+ saves 0.7-1.1% in fees
• Failed transaction rate above 5% - optimization engine justifies migration
• International expansion planned - local acquiring reduces cross-border fees by 1-2%
• Network token adoption - Visa/Mastercard tokens improve auth rates worth switching
• Need payment routing optimization - Premium tier features required
