PrestaShop Payment Gateway

Advanced Payment Processing for Your Online Store

PrestaShop stands out as a powerful, flexible e-commerce platform that gives merchants complete control over their online stores. However, many PrestaShop merchants find themselves limited by standard payment options that offer basic functionality, restricted payment methods, and higher transaction fees. eCom Pay’s PrestaShop Payment Gateway provides a superior alternative, delivering enhanced features, lower costs, and greater flexibility specifically optimized for PrestaShop store owners.

Why Choose eCom Pay for Your PrestaShop Store?

Lower Transaction Fees Than Stripe and PayPal

PrestaShop merchants typically rely on standard providers like Stripe or PayPal, often unaware of the significant savings available through specialized payment solutions. eCom Pay’s PrestaShop Payment Gateway delivers substantial cost benefits:

Reduced Processing Rates: Our transaction fees are consistently lower than Stripe and PayPal, providing immediate margin improvement on every sale without changing your pricing structure.

Transparent Fee Structure: Our straightforward pricing eliminates the complex fee calculations, hidden charges, and unexpected costs that often affect your true processing margins with mainstream providers.

Volume-Based Discounts: As your PrestaShop store grows, our tiered pricing automatically reduces your rates, rewarding your success with improved economics that enhance profitability.

No Monthly Minimum Requirements: Unlike many payment providers that impose monthly processing thresholds, our gateway allows businesses of all sizes to benefit from our competitive rates.

Predictable Cross-Border Fees: International sales won’t come with surprising currency conversion markups or cross-border fees that eat into your profit margins.

For a typical PrestaShop store processing £10,000 monthly, these savings can amount to hundreds of pounds annually—a direct boost to your bottom line without requiring any changes to your products or pricing.

Faster Settlement for Improved Cash Flow

Access your funds more quickly than with standard PrestaShop payment options:

  • Accelerated Fund Access: Receive your transaction funds in 1-2 business days, compared to the 3-7 days typically experienced with mainstream providers.
  • Consistent Settlement Schedule: Reliable, predictable transfer timing improves cash flow management and financial planning.
  • Customizable Payout Options: Select from daily, weekly, or custom settlement schedules based on your specific business requirements.
  • Comprehensive Settlement Reporting: Detailed reports that clearly reconcile with your transfers, eliminating financial discrepancies and simplifying accounting.
 

This improved cash flow can be transformative for PrestaShop businesses, providing the working capital needed for inventory purchases, marketing campaigns, and other growth initiatives without resorting to expensive financing options.
