About WhatPayment

WhatPayment is an independent editorial publication focused on payment processors for online businesses. We help creators, founders, and operators choose the right tool through honest comparisons grounded in real testing and public documentation.

What we do

We test, compare, and review payment processors used by digital product sellers, course creators, online communities, SaaS companies, and high-risk merchants. Every comparison is based on a defined methodology that prioritizes facts, sources, and use-case fit over commission size.

Why we exist

Most existing comparisons are either thin marketing pages or affiliate listicles that rank vendors by commission rather than fit. We believe creators and founders deserve a single source they can trust to make informed payment infrastructure decisions. We took the position of independent reviewer because no one was filling it credibly in this niche.

How we make money

WhatPayment participates in affiliate programs with several of the vendors we cover. When you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying action, we may earn a commission. You never pay more. This funds the editorial work, testing budget, and infrastructure. We disclose every affiliate relationship at the article level. See our full affiliate disclosure.

Editorial independence

No vendor pays us for placement. No vendor reviews our content before publication. We pick our recommendations based on testing, public documentation, and creator feedback. When commercial relationships create a conflict of interest, we say so explicitly in the article.
