What Mastercard® costs
Merchants do not pay Mastercard® directly. Each payment provider that offers it sets its own rate, so compare a few and ask them to quote.
What the last check found
Documented by Adyen, Antom and Airwallex across 44 countries: the United Arab Emirates, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Cyprus, the Czech Republic and 34 more.
Adyen files it under "Credit and debit cards", and states it supports 3D Secure, Chargebacks, Delayed captures, Disputes, Multiple partial captures, Multiple partial refunds, Partial captures, Partial refunds, Recurring and Recurring payments. Its catalog is the one place in this industry that publishes a method's countries, its processing currencies and its settlement currencies separately, which is the difference between what a customer can be charged in and what a merchant can be paid in.
One constraint that is easy to miss: a provider documenting this method also states where the MERCHANT has to be incorporated for it to be offered — Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. Where a shopper can pay from and where a business can be registered are different questions, and it is the second one that decides whether you can sign at all.
This pass adds coverage rather than confirming it: the listing held 0 countries and the gateway documentation states 44. Nothing was removed — the earlier rows stand — but the figure now has a source behind it.
Checked against Mastercard®’s own documentation on 20 October 2026. Coverage changes; confirm anything you are about to build on.
