More Payment Methods
If you use a gateway other than Stripe, your guests now get the same range of payment options Stripe users already have: Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Open Banking (EU), ACH (US), and UPI (India).
More ways to pay means fewer guests abandoning checkout because their preferred method was not available.
Secure 3DS Authentication, Built I
Accept cards with or without 3DS authentication through our internal MPI service, so every transaction stays protected without adding extra steps for your guest.
Failed Payments, Automatically Retried
If a payment fails, ChargeAutomation retries it automatically instead of leaving you to chase the guest manually or lose the charge entirely.
