Which Gateway Should I Choose?
Most services simply force you to use the gateway service that they have chosen for you (for which they receive a cut). But that’s not our model! We believe in giving you choice where it is available – and this also means that we can service more countries. To search for a list of gateway options in your country use the tool on the right!
Getting passed the Gateway setup screen is a barrier for many. This is usually because people don’t already have a gateway and have no idea which one to choose. Look at our list of recommendations below.
If you don’t already have a gateway here are some great suggestions.
What do you recommend?We recommend Forte Payments for ACH and credit card processing. Forte’s monthly fees are very low and their credit card commissions are just above interchange.
We also support Payment Express (credit cards), Stripe (credit cards), Authorize.net (credit cards and ACH) and even generic NACHA file uploads (ACH). Stripe is a really simple platform and you can be up and running in minutes.

It is hard (and/or expensive) for many businesses to get approved by the banks for Direct Debit or ecommerce Credit Cards (which is what you need for automated/on-line credit card payments). If you are one of the fortunate few we can support you with our trading bank upload files (BNZ, ANZ, Westpac, Kiwibank and Fetch). We also support DPS Payment Express credit card processing.
However, if you have not been approved by the bank, we highly recommend EziDebit. They can do both Direct Debit and Credit Cards and offer simple fee structures with no monthly fees and low minimums. We’ve been partnering with EziDebit since the beginning of uCollect (and using them before this product existed).

Integrations with eDebit, eWay, Debit Success and Mint Payment are coming soon.
We recommend Forte Payments for Pre-Authorized Debits and credit card processing. Forte’s monthly fees are very low and their credit card commissions are just above interchange.
We also support Payment Express and Stripe for Credit Cards in Canada. Payment Express is a direct merchant account where you will pay a variable rate per transaction (interchange plus a percentage). Stripe charge a flat fee, which is higher than the variable rate, but with lower fees and monthly charges.
Right now we only support Payment Express and Stripe for Credit Cards in the UK. Payment Express is a direct merchant account where you will pay a variable rate per transaction (interchange plus a percentage). Stripe charge a flat fee, which is higher than the variable rate, but with lower fees and monthly charges.
If you have customers in Europe then you can also use SEPA Direct Debits. You will need a bank account in Euros and your bank needs to participate the in the SEPA DD scheme and is capable of receiving the SEPA DD XML file format.
Most countries in Europe can use Stripe for Credit Cards.
In addition, we support the SEPA Direct Debit scheme. Some banks interpret the rules slightly differently so there is a lead time if you are using a bank that we haven’t worked with before.
Right now we don’t have much to offer you I’m afraid. If Stripe is available in your country then you can use that. Otherwise get in touch and we will see what we can do.
