Zero Per-Transaction Fees#

Unlike traditional payment gateways that charge 2-3% per transaction, DirectCryptoPay charges nothing per transaction on any plan. The only cost is your subscription.

Traditional Gateways DirectCryptoPay
Per-Transaction Fee 2-3% + fixed fee 0%
Monthly Fee Varies $0 - $99
Gas Fees N/A Paid by customer
Payout Fees Often additional None (direct to wallet)
Currency Conversion Often additional None (crypto-to-crypto)

What Your Customer Pays#

  • Payment amount -- The exact amount you specified (e.g., $49.99 in USDC)
  • Gas fee -- A small blockchain fee paid to network validators (near-zero on Polygon, < $0.05 on BNB Chain, $1-5 on Ethereum)

Cost Comparison#

For a merchant processing 1,000 payments of $50 each per month ($50,000 volume):

Stripe PayPal DCP Pro
Processing Fees $1,750 (2.9% + $0.30) $1,790 (2.9% + $0.49) $0
Monthly Fee $0 $0 $29
Total Cost $1,750/month $1,790/month $29/month
Annual Savings -- -- $20,652 vs Stripe
The more you process, the more you save. With zero per-transaction fees, DirectCryptoPay becomes increasingly cost-effective as your volume grows.
