Gateway alternative Β· ForumPay

Want enterprise-grade stablecoin checkout & POS without sales gates or FX spreads?

ForumPay focuses on sales-gated crypto-to-fiat bank conversions (~1.0%–1.5%+ plus FX spreads). XPayr lets your engineering and retail teams start testing immediately on /sandbox, charges a transparent flat 0.5% fee, and settles 99.5% directly into your corporate USDC, EURC, or USDT treasury wallet.

Direct answer

Choose XPayr as your ForumPay alternative when direct corporate stablecoin custody, published 0.5% pricing, instant Browser POS (/pos), and ERP CSV/JSON exports matter.

Decision fit

Choose based on the settlement model you actually want.

XPayr is usually better when

  • Hospitality, luxury retail, travel (/solutions/travel-hospitality), and B2B exporters keeping USDC/EURC/USDT.
  • CFOs requiring QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite audit exports (/accounting & /compliance).
  • Developers wanting open OpenAPI 3.1 specs and self-serve Testnet keys today.

ForumPay may still be better when

  • Enterprises barred by corporate charter from holding digital assets that require T+1 domestic bank wires.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask before switching

What is the best ForumPay alternative for direct wallet settlement?

XPayr is a strong fit when the merchant wants payment links, widgets, API checkout, webhooks, supported stablecoin routes, and direct wallet settlement without XPayr holding merchant funds.

How much does XPayr charge compared with ForumPay?

XPayr charges a flat 0.5% gateway fee per successful transaction. Network gas, external route costs, swap or bridge costs, wallet fees, and third-party provider fees are separate from the XPayr gateway fee.

Can I test XPayr before switching?

Yes. XPayr is designed around free testnet evaluation. Merchants can create a checkout session, test payment links or API flows, review records, and confirm webhook behavior before requesting mainnet activation.

Should every ForumPay user switch to XPayr?

No. If a merchant specifically needs the competitor ecosystem, custody model, fiat settlement model, self-hosting model, or existing platform integrations, that may still be the better fit. XPayr is best when direct wallet settlement, clear records, and lightweight checkout are the priority.
