About Payyd

Payyd is an independent comparison directory for crypto payment gateways. We help businesses and developers find the right gateway with honest, data-driven reviews — no marketing fluff, no pay-to-rank listings.

Our Mission

The crypto payment gateway space is growing fast, but reliable information is hard to find. Most "reviews" are thinly disguised affiliate pitches. Payyd exists to fix that. We believe merchants and developers deserve a single, trustworthy place to compare gateways on the metrics that actually matter: fees, supported coins, integration complexity, KYC requirements, and real-world reliability.

How We Review Gateways

Every gateway in our directory is independently evaluated across multiple dimensions:

  • Fees: Transaction fees, settlement fees, withdrawal charges, and currency conversion rates.
  • Integration: API quality, documentation, supported platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, custom), and developer experience.
  • Privacy: KYC requirements (none, email-only, or full ID), data collection practices, and jurisdiction.
  • Reliability: Uptime track record, settlement speed, user reports of held funds, and provider transparency.
  • Features: Supported cryptocurrencies, fiat settlement options, auto-conversion, invoicing, recurring payments, and multi-currency support.

Gateways are assigned a tier ranking (S through D) based on their overall score. Commission rates do not influence tier placement.

How We Stay Current

Crypto payment gateway offerings change frequently — fees shift, providers launch or shut down, and KYC policies evolve. We re-verify every gateway in the directory on a weekly basis. Our blog content is reviewed and updated monthly to ensure accuracy.

Our Expertise

Payyd is built by a team with deep experience in cryptocurrency, fintech, and payments infrastructure. We have been tracking the crypto payment gateway market since its early days and maintain direct relationships with gateway providers to verify information firsthand. Our technical background means we evaluate gateways not just on marketing claims, but on the underlying infrastructure, API reliability, and settlement processes. We also build tools for privacy-conscious users at Undetectr and help people discover the best AI-powered tools through PopularAiTools.ai.

Affiliate Transparency

Some gateways in our directory have affiliate programs. When you sign up through one of our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This revenue helps us keep Payyd free and independent. Crucially, affiliate relationships do not affect our rankings or reviews. Gateways without affiliate programs are listed and evaluated equally.
