About
r/PaymentGateway is a Reddit board where online merchants and PSP operators ask which gateway will take them and on what terms. Medium- and high-risk businesses are the core audience.
What a typical thread looks like
A public post titled "looking for a payment processor, medium-risk, USD" asks for EU merchant processing with USD acceptance across Visa, Mastercard and Amex. The replies go straight to the commercial details: how underwriting treats the business, what payout schedule is realistic, how large a reserve to expect and whether card-brand coverage is complete. The same vocabulary appears across the board: settlement currency, rolling reserves, gateway versus acquirer.
Who gets value
Merchants shortlisting providers, ISOs checking what buyers actually ask for, and PSP sales teams listening for onboarding pain points. The subreddit is English-language, global in scope and public, using the standard Reddit thread format. It is peer advice, so replies from providers should be read as pitches and cross-checked.
Payments angle
Processor-hunting threads for medium- and high-risk merchants: underwriting, Visa/Mastercard/Amex coverage, payout schedules and reserve terms.
