Testing Methodology

Our methodology combines hands-on account review, documentation checks, integration planning, and competitor comparison. We look for the practical friction a merchant experiences before checkout goes live.

What we test

• Account setup, login security, roles, and recovery controls.
• Hosted checkout clarity, supported assets, fees, and settlement options.
• API documentation, callback behavior, error cases, and developer ergonomics.
• Disclosure quality, compliance boundaries, and customer support paths.

How ratings work

Ratings are editorial summaries, not promises of performance. We score merchant fit, documentation, security controls, pricing transparency, and support surface. We update pages when a material product change affects the verdict.
