Why SMEs Should Choose Xpanse Over Traditional Payment Gateways

Why SMEs Should Choose Xpanse Over Traditional Payment Gateways

When it comes to payment solutions, not all gateways are created equal. Traditional payment gateways, like Stripe, have long served the needs of businesses. But for SMEs looking to reduce costs, expand payment options, and streamline operations, the Xpanse Universal Gateway offers a far superior choice. Here’s why.

More Than Just a Gateway

Unlike traditional gateways, which focus solely on processing card payments, the Xpanse Universal Gateway is powered by advanced payment orchestration. This means SMEs can manage a variety of payment methods—from cards and digital wallets to real-time payments and BNPL options like Zip and Afterpay—all from a single, easy-to-use platform.

Flexible Contracts and Easier Onboarding

One common pain point with traditional gateways is the rigidity of their contracts. With Xpanse, merchants can either use their own contracts with providers like PayPal or take advantage of pre-negotiated agreements to simplify onboarding. This flexibility allows SMEs to get started quickly without being locked into restrictive terms.

Cost-Effective and Scalable

Cost efficiency is a top priority for SMEs, and Xpanse delivers. By leveraging an innovative low-cost business model, Xpanse provides all the functionality SMEs need at a fraction of the price of competitors. And as your business grows, Xpanse scales effortlessly to meet your evolving needs.

Seamless Integration

Traditional gateways often require complex setups and manual integrations. Xpanse is designed with simplicity in mind, offering out-of-the-box compatibility with platforms like Magento and WooCommerce. This makes implementation faster and less resource-intensive for SMEs.

Future-Proofing Your Payments

The payments landscape is rapidly evolving, and businesses need a solution that adapts. Xpanse not only supports the latest payment technologies, like Click to Pay and scheme tokenisation, but also ensures your business is ready for future innovations.
