Competitive Analysis: How Rapyd and Checkout.com Stack Up

Rapyd vs Checkout.com comparison

Why Rapyd?

Rapyd and Checkout.com seem similar at first glance, but here’s how Rapyd stands out. 

  • Unmatched Global Reach for Payments and Payouts: Rapyd supports payments and payouts in 190+ countries, while Checkout.com supports 170+. But numbers don’t tell the whole story. Rapyd’s network is unmatched, with the ability to send funds faster to more places and use more methods. Rapyd supports 45+ currencies and domestic processing in key markets like the EEA, UK and Singapore, ensuring smooth and efficient transactions worldwide.
  • Enhanced Support for High-Opportunity Industries: Rapyd covers a broad range of up-and-coming verticals, including online gaming, travel and content creators. Checkout.com, on the other hand, may not provide the same tailored solutions for these industries.
  • Comprehensive ISO Partnerships: Rapyd supports ISO partnerships, which provide more opportunities for businesses to integrate and collaborate within their payment ecosystems. Checkout.com does not support ISOs, which limits the integration and collaboration options for businesses.
  • Transparent Pricing Structure: Rapyd offers straightforward, transparent pricing and includes features like advanced fraud protection and chargeback management.
  • Superior Dispute Management: With Rapyd, dispute management is embedded in our client portal, offering full-cycle monitoring and actionable insights. This intuitive dashboard makes handling disputes straightforward and efficient. Rapyd merchants can leverage automated pre-dispute refunds for both Visa and Mastercard transactions. Checkout.com’s dispute management system lacks arbitration features and can be difficult to navigate according to user feedback.
  • Omnichannel Solutions: Rapyd offers a unified commerce experience with in-store and online payment solutions. Checkout.com is more focused on digital payment experiences.
