Checkout.com pricing
Popular
Custom (interchange++)
Custom
- Interchange + scheme fees + negotiated markup
- Markup typically ~0.1%–0.4% for qualified merchants
- Quoted based on volume and risk profile
Costs to watch before you commit
- No public rate card — you must obtain a direct quote, and terms depend on volume and risk.
- Interchange and scheme fees still apply on top of the negotiated markup.
- Best suited to high volume; smaller merchants get better value from flat-rate processors.
- Integration expects developer resources to implement the API and orchestration.
