Persolvent alternatives: other payment providers to compare

| Your need | Types of provider to compare |
|---|---|
| Self-serve online checkout | Stripe, PayPal, Square Online |
| In-person retail POS | Square, Clover, Toast (restaurants) |
| Contractor estimates and invoicing | Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks Payments |

| Government payments | Tyler Technologies payments, Paymentus, Invoice Cloud |
| Embedded payments for software | Stripe Connect, Finix, Payrix (Worldpay) |
Where Persolvent differs
Self-serve platforms win on speed of sign-up and transparent flat pricing. Persolvent's pitch is integration, vertical knowledge and direct support, particularly for education, programmes and government. Larger merchants may find a negotiated rate from a specialist is cheaper than a flat rate at volume.
How to choose
- List how your customers pay and which systems must connect.
- Get written quotes from at least three providers.
- Compare effective rates, contract terms and support.
- Ask for references in your industry.
