One transparent rate across cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and digital asset payments—no setup fees, no monthly minimums, and no rolling reserves imposed by PayBito. Built for businesses operating in high-risk and complex industries.
High risk payment processing fees are the per-transaction costs applied to businesses in industries that card networks and banks flag as elevated-risk — adult content, nutraceuticals, e-cigarettes, gaming, travel, crypto services, and more. Traditional processors offset this risk with complex, unpredictable fee structures.
PayBito takes the opposite approach: a single flat 1% fee, regardless of your industry, payment method, or monthly volume. No percentage tiers, no interchange differentials, no "risk surcharge" line items.
Whether a customer pays via Stripe card, PayPal REST API, or crypto through a Brand Wallet, External Wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, Brave, TronLink), or Guest Checkout — the fee is always 1%.
Subscription payments processed through PayBito are charged at the same 1% flat fee — no premium for automated recurring billing cycles.
PayBito's Fee Handling setting lets you pass the 1% to the customer at checkout or absorb it yourself — a decision you can change at any time without contacting support.
Start at Tier 1 ($1,000/day, 90 payments/month). Complete KYC/KYB to unlock Tier 2 with higher daily and monthly processing volumes — no renegotiation required.
No add-on modules, no premium tiers. Every capability below is live for every merchant at the same 1% rate.
Connect your Stripe publishable and secret keys in Payment Settings. Accept all major debit and credit cards globally — no PayBito surcharge beyond the 1% platform fee.
Link your PayPal Client ID and Secret. Customers pay via their PayPal balance, bank, or card — all routed through your account at the flat 1% PayBito fee.
Accept BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, XRP, USDT, USDC, DOGE, HCX, and INR — all at the 1% rate. Crypto network fees pass through at cost with no markup.
Brand Wallet (custodial, hosted), External Wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, Brave Wallet, TronLink), and Guest Checkout (address copy-paste, no wallet needed) — same 1% across all three.
Create subscription billing cycles or one-time payment links using the same profile-based checkout builder. Both billing types are priced at 1% — no recurring billing premium.
Set up to 50 cart-value discount rules per profile. Choose whether the 1% processing fee is added to the customer's total or deducted from your settlement — configured from the dashboard at any time.
High-risk merchants shouldn't pay more for accepting crypto, cards, or PayPal. With PayBito, they don't.
