Snapshot
Continue to About ↓- What it does
- PaymentKit is billing software that sits above your payment processors: it runs subscription invoicing and sends each transaction to the connected processor most likely to approve it, with automatic failover and cascading on declines.
More detail
- Its distinguishing claim is independent token vaulting, so subscribers keep billing without re-entering cards if a merchant account is shut down or you change processors.
- It also handles failed-payment retries, dunning emails and a consolidated revenue dashboard across processors.
- Best for
- Subscription SaaS, AI and e-commerce teams that run or want to run multiple payment processors and need portable card tokens, higher authorization rates and failed-payment recovery in one system.
More detail
- Also aimed at high-risk verticals such as peptides, telehealth, adult and gaming, though those need the Custom plan.
- Pricing
- Standard is $99/month plus 0.65% of successfully processed volume ($0.65 per $100), with no setup fees and no stated minimums
More detail
- the company says a free trial is available with no card required, but the trial length is not stated.
- High-risk industry support, custom integrations, advanced orchestration
- Main limitation
- Businesses that need a merchant of record (PaymentKit does not state that it holds funds or acts as MoR) or that want transparent, fully documented pricing and engineering effort for custom routing before committing.
More detail
- Self-serve buyers in high-risk verticals will find the needed support gated behind an undisclosed Custom tier.

About
- PaymentKit is billing software that sits above your payment processors: it runs subscription invoicing and sends each transaction to the connected processor most likely to approve it, with automatic failover and cascading on declines.
- Its distinguishing claim is independent token vaulting, so subscribers keep billing without re-entering cards if a merchant account is shut down or you change processors.
- It also handles failed-payment retries, dunning emails and a consolidated revenue dashboard across processors.
What it helps with
- Single-processor lock-in, where a merchant account shutdown or processor change forces customers to re-enter cards
- Low authorization rates on recurring charges
- Involuntary churn from failed renewals that need retries and dunning
- Fragmented reporting when transactions run across several processors
- Risk of losing subscribers during a billing-provider migration
- Per-MID dispute ratio thresholds (VAMP) that can put recurring revenue at risk
Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-processor routing and cascading | Yes | Routes by geography, card brand or payment method, fails over automatically and cascades declines to a second processor. |
| Independent token vaulting | Yes | Company states tokens are vaulted above the processor so they can be charged by any connected processor; wallet network tokens for Apple Pay and Google Pay included. |
| Subscription billing | Yes | Flat, tiered, usage-based and hybrid pricing, prorations, upgrades, downgrades and pauses, plus hosted checkout and self-service portals. |
| Failed-payment recovery | Yes | Retries timed by decline code and billing cycle, dunning emails and a self-serve card update portal. |
| Consolidated revenue dashboard | Yes | One view across processors with success-rate and cost comparison, churn monitoring and cohort analysis. |
| Parallel-run migration program | Yes | Existing subscriptions migrate in batches between billing cycles; token transfer depends on the processor supporting PCI-compliant token migration. |
| High-risk industry support | Limited | Marked not included on the Standard plan; only available on the undisclosed Custom plan. |
| Merchant of record | Unknown | Terms list routing, tokenization and dunning as its services but do not state whether PaymentKit holds funds or acts as MoR. |
