What payments actually cost you.

Founders don't talk about this on Twitter. They talk about it in DMs at 2am after their payment service provider froze their account on launch day. Here's what we keep hearing:

68%
Auth success rate on a "good day"

Most AI startups never break 80% authorization on cards. The other 20% is silently churning out the funnel — most of them never retry, never see a recovery flow, and never come back. Smart routing alone closes 8–14 points.

14days
Frozen by your payment service provider. No warning.

Stripe and PayPal flag AI products constantly — chargebacks, "high-risk MCC," sudden volume spikes from a Product Hunt launch. Funds locked for 90–180 days. No fallback provider means no revenue until the appeal lands.

$1.65
Average fee per $19.99 charged

Card fees, FX markups, cross-border surcharges, 3DS step-ups, dispute fees. None of it is itemized in your dashboard. You see "Stripe fees" and shrug. SupaPay tells you which provider is cheapest per charge and routes accordingly.

$35+
Per chargeback. Win or lose.

Every disputed charge costs $25–35 in fees from your PSP — on top of refunding the original amount. Lose three in a row and your reserve gets frozen. Hit 1% dispute ratio and Visa flags you into a monitoring program. Most AI startups don't even contest disputes because the evidence process is brutal.

$50K
Visa / Mastercard non-compliance fine

Get flagged into VAMP, VDMP, or Mastercard's ECP program and the fines start at $25K — and escalate to $50K+ per month until you're out. Most founders don't even know these programs exist until the email lands. Cross-PSP fraud and dispute signals keep you below the threshold before the network notices.

One integration. Everywhere your customers pay.

Stop building one provider at a time. SupaPay ships with the integrations already done — every major card network, wallet, bank rail, and local payment method, available the moment you flip a flag.

Things founders ask.

How is this different from Stripe or Adyen directly?

Stripe and Adyen are PSPs — they process payments. SupaPay is the layer above them. We don't replace your processors; we orchestrate them. One API to route between them, smart-retry across them, and switch the default in seconds when one degrades.

Are you a payment processor? Do you touch funds?

No. SupaPay is a routing and orchestration layer — we never hold money. Funds settle directly from cards to your existing PSP accounts (Stripe, Adyen, Paddle, etc.). You keep the merchant-of-record relationships and the contracts.

Do I need to bring my own PSP contracts?

For now, yes. You bring your Stripe / Adyen / Paddle accounts; we orchestrate across them. Growth customers can use our group rates with select providers. The Starter tier works with Stripe and Paddle test mode out of the box.

How fast is the integration?

If you already have Stripe live, you can route your first payment through SupaPay in under an hour. Drop-in SDKs for Node, Python, Go, Ruby, and PHP. Webhook signatures, idempotency, and retries are handled.

Your checkout should route itself.
