PaymentCloud is a high-risk merchant account provider, not one of the click trackers this site ranks. A high-risk ISO for continuity and supplement merchants who have already been declined and want a choice of gateways. Skip it when the funnel bills by negative option, because that billing is not supported on its continuity accounts.
Where the real alternatives are
People leaving PaymentCloud are usually choosing another high-risk ISO, or separating the bank account from the checkout that bills on top of it.
Frequently asked questions
Where do PaymentCloud's rivals sit?
Durango Merchant Services and PayKings publish their own high-risk terms. Konnektive and Checkout Champ are billing engines that attach to a merchant account. They do not replace the bank relationship.
What should I read first?
Read the high-risk merchant account guide if you are still choosing an ISO. Read the PaymentCloud review if this provider is already on the shortlist.
