Crypto payment gateway alternatives
Price is the easy part. We also compare payouts, invoicing, refunds, settlement and licensing, using each provider’s own pages and the ESMA register.

BitPay alternative
Checked 2 October 2026
BitPay has paused new onboarding in the EEA, the UK and Australia. See how fees, payouts and settlement compare.
Here’s how we keep these comparisons honest
A comparison is only useful if you can trust it. Every page follows these rules.
-
Primary sources only. Every rival fact links to its own source.
-
Licences from the register. Taken from ESMA, not press releases.
-
Dated and quoted. Exact wording, with the date we checked it.
-
No guessing. If a provider doesn’t say it, we leave it out.
-
Fair both ways. Each page says where the rival may fit better.
-
Corrections welcome. Out of date? Tell us and we’ll fix it.

Questions about switching providers
Is CoinGate licensed under MiCA?
Yes. ESMA’s register lists UAB Decentralized, trading as Coingate, as authorised by the Bank of Lithuania on 16 December 2025.
What does CoinGate charge?
1% on Standard, with no monthly, setup or integration fees. Enterprise pricing is custom. Payout, refund and withdrawal fees are on the pricing page.
Can I send payouts and invoices too?
Yes. Pay a wallet, or just an email address with Payout Links. Send bills by email or link, one-off or on a weekly or monthly schedule.
Can I get paid in euros instead of crypto?
Yes. Settle in EUR, GBP or USD, in USDC or EURC, or in crypto. If you don’t choose, orders settle in USDC.
Are there chargebacks?
No. Crypto payments are push-only and can’t be reversed. Money goes back to a customer only when you send a refund.
Can I keep my current provider while I test?
Yes. Offer both at checkout and move traffic over when you’re confident.
