CoinGate alternative

The CoinGate alternative that skips the 1% and the custody

CoinGate is a solid EU custodial processor: 1% processing on the standard plan, funds held during settlement, weekly payouts by default, and payout/conversion fees on top. CRYPT.PE takes the opposite approach — 0% per transaction, non-custodial, every payment lands directly in your own wallet the moment it confirms.

why merchants switch

keep your fees, your funds, and your freedom

Keep the 1% and the payout fees

On $100k/yr, CoinGate's 1% is $1,000 before payout and conversion fees. CRYPT.PE is a flat plan from $0 — no per-sale cut, no payout line items.

No settlement cycle

CoinGate holds funds and settles weekly by default. On CRYPT.PE there's nothing to settle — the payer's transaction lands directly in your wallet, final in minutes.

Not gated to a region

CoinGate is built around EU rails like SEPA. CRYPT.PE is non-custodial software — available wherever direct wallet-to-wallet payments are permitted.
