Krepling Pay vs WooPayments
Krepling Pay vs. WooPayments

WooCommerce-native. But not all native is equal.

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.

2.5% + 30¢ Transparent interchange-plus, never a flat blended rate
T+1 Next-business-day settlement on independent RS2 rails
$0 Lock-in. Month-to-month, never embedded in someone else’s stack
1:1 Dedicated advisory and concierge, not self-serve docs
The core difference

WooPayments is the default.
Krepling Pay is the upgrade.

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.

Pricing transparency

Stop paying flat for variable cost.

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.

Independent infrastructure

Whose rails are you really on?

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.

The agentic future

Stripe is building a walled garden.
We’re building the open road.

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.

Partnership, not just processing

A processor sends a dashboard. We send a team.

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.

What you don't give up

Everything native. Nothing generic.

One-click returning checkout. Apple Pay and Google Pay. Stored cards. Native WooCommerce Subscriptions with intelligent retries. The seamless in-dashboard experience you expect from WooPayments — on better rails, at a better rate, with better people.

  • One-click returning checkout

    Stored cards, addresses, and shipping preferences — the same frictionless flow your shoppers expect.

  • Apple Pay & Google Pay

    Tap to pay on every device, baked in. No extensions, no extra setup, no surcharges.

  • Intelligent retries

    Smart logic recovers failed charges so subscriptions and high-AOV carts don't slip through.

  • Krepling Wallet

    A returning-shopper wallet that lives in your store — your brand, your data, your relationship.

  • PCI-compliant tokenization

    Hosted-fields tokenization keeps card data off your servers and your PCI scope minimal.

  • Chargeback API

    Automatic dispute responses with evidence baked in — fewer manual fights, more recovered revenue.
