Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether CheckoutCom is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- 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
- 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
