WooPayments runs your money through Stripe on a flat blended rate. Krepling Pay runs it on independent rails, at interchange-plus, with a team behind you. Same store, better foundation.
WooPayments is convenient, it's right there in your dashboard. But convenience hides the trade: you're processing on Stripe's infrastructure, paying a padded flat rate, and getting support that ends at a help doc. Krepling Pay gives you the same one-click WooCommerce experience on independent rails, with transparent pricing the beats Stripe's native price.

WooPayments charges one blended rate on every card, which means you overpay on cards that cost less to process, and the spread goes to them. Krepling Pay is interchange-plus: you pay the true network cost plus a clear margin you can see. As your volume grows, your effective rate drops. A flat rate never does.
WooPayments is built on Stripe, every transaction makes you a sub-merchant in someone else's processing stack, subject to their terms, their roadmap, and their risk decisions. Krepling Pay runs on independent settlement rails. You're a direct merchant, not a line item inside a giant. Your payment relationship is yours.
AI agents will soon transact for customers — and Stripe is writing its own closed standard for that future. WooPayments merchants inherit whatever Stripe decides. Krepling Pay is the independent agentic payment rail for the open web, so when agents start checking out, you're a destination on your own terms — not waiting on someone else's API.
WooPayments support is self-serve by design — docs, tickets, and automated flows. Krepling Pay gives you direct advisory access: performance updates, ongoing optimization, data insights, and tax guidance from people who know your business. White-glove implementation to get you live, and a real partner once you are.
