Stop calling
10 processors to compare rates.

PayScout matches your business with the best merchant services provider for your size, risk profile, and payment needs. Hardware, software, and rates, all in one comparison.

The problem today
0

Processors show pricing upfront

Every provider says "call for a quote." You waste hours on sales calls just to learn the rates.

72%

Of SMBs overpay on processing

Hidden fees, tiered pricing traps, and confusing interchange markups cost small businesses thousands yearly.

0

Brokers serve both SMB and high-risk

Rejected by Stripe? You're stuck cold-calling high-risk specialists. There's no single place to find what fits.

How PayScout works

Three steps. No sales calls. Real pricing before you commit.

01

Describe your business

Industry, monthly volume, average ticket size, risk factors, and what payment methods you need. Takes under 2 minutes.

02

Get ranked matches

PayScout compares processors, gateways, POS hardware, and software across your exact profile. See estimated rates, not "contact us."

03

Connect and save

Pick your match. We handle the introduction. Free for merchants, always. Processors compete for your business.

Built for the businesses others reject

Whether you're a main street shop or a high-risk merchant who just got dropped by Stripe.

Small businesses

Retail, restaurants, services, e-commerce

You shouldn't need a finance degree to understand your processing statement.

  • Side-by-side rate comparison
  • POS hardware + software bundled
  • Transparent interchange-plus pricing
High-risk merchants

CBD, travel, subscriptions, nutraceuticals

Rejected by PayPal. Frozen by Stripe. You need a processor who actually wants your business.

  • Pre-screened high-risk providers
  • Chargeback prevention tools matched
  • No surprise account terminations

Payment processing should be a solved problem. It isn't. We're fixing that.

Transparent rates. Honest matching. No hidden commissions steering you wrong. PayScout is the broker that works for the merchant, not the processor.
