Frequently asked questions
Which gateway is best for a Shopify D2C brand?
Pick a PSP with a native Shopify plugin, UPI Intent support, T+1 settlement and a refund flow that doesn't lock funds in rolling reserve for 90+ days.
What MDR should a D2C brand expect?
Typical MDR ranges: UPI 0% (regulated), Cards 1.6–2.2%, Wallets 1.8–2.2%, BNPL 2.5–3.5%. Negotiate harder once you cross $25K monthly GMV.
