What MBWay costs
MBWay quotes per merchant. What you are offered depends on your volume, your industry, the countries you sell in, your card mix and your risk profile — so a published headline rate would not be your rate. Ask them for a quote against your own numbers.
What the last check found
Nuvei's integration data records this as an acceptance method rather than a payout rail: it takes payments and supports refunds, but money cannot be sent out through it. The distinction matters because a "supported payment methods" list treats paying in and paying out as the same thing, and for most local rails they are not — of the methods checked in this pass, far more accept money than return it.
A single-country method, in Portugal, charged in EUR, documented by Adyen, Antom, Nuvei, Airwallex and Stripe. Nothing wrong with that — a domestic rail is usually the cheapest and highest-converting way to be paid in its own market, and the reason to care about it is precisely that it is the local default rather than a global option.
Adyen files it under "Wallets", and states it supports Multiple partial refunds, Partial refunds 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 — Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Switzerland, Cyprus, the Czech Republic and 33 more. 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.
