How to choose a Stax Payments alternative
- Compare the total cost: MDR on UPI is zero by regulation, but cards, net banking and international payments carry 1.5–3%, plus GST on fees.
- Ask for success-rate data on your traffic mix. A gateway with weak bank integrations loses a few percent of every checkout silently.
- Check onboarding requirements — website content, business registration, bank verification — before building the checkout.
