Undisclosed Rates and Fees
Unfortunately, customers won't find any pricing information on PayCafe's website — and that includes information on payment gateway fees, early termination fees, PCI compliance fees, and more. However, the company does advertise that there is no setup or monthly fees. Customers interested in working with PayCafe will have to call the company for more information.
The Bottom Line
Although there is little information on pricing, PayCafe does offer similar features to other payment gateways, but the biggest plus for the company is its added emphasis on security. The industry is extremely vulnerable, and PayCafe's attempts to protect its merchants and their customer's information is admirable.
