| Best for | Established US or Canadian online businesses processing roughly $1M+ annually with low decline and refund rates, and software platforms or marketplaces with in-house developers that want to monetise payments for their own sub-merchants with onboarding, KYC/KYB/OFAC and split payouts built in. | International SaaS, desktop software, app and digital-product companies with average order values comfortably above $10, at early to mid scale, that want tax registration, filing and remittance taken off the team entirely. |
| Avoid if | You are a small or early-stage seller under about $20k/month, want same-day self-serve signup without a sales call, run a high-refund or high-decline vertical, need coverage beyond the US and Canada, or have no developer capacity. | You sell sub-$10 items, run high-volume low-margin revenue where 5% of gross is unaffordable, need invoiced/PO-based B2B billing, sell physical goods, or must own your merchant account, payment routing and checkout branding. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
