The fine print headline rates don't show
- Sales tax / VAT — your responsibility, or +0.5% via Stripe Tax.
- Chargebacks — $15 per dispute, original fee not refunded.
- Refunds — the processing fee is not returned to the merchant.
- Marketplaces — Stripe Connect adds 0.25% + $2 per active connected account, monthly.
What we like
- Accepts both crypto and traditional card payments
- Multi-currency support with fast settlements
- Developer-friendly API
- Competitive domestic fees (2.99%)
- Fast onboarding process
Where it falls short
- No merchant-of-record services (tax, chargebacks on merchant)
- Limited track record (2022)
- No WordPress plugin or WooCommerce/EDD integration
- Crypto volatility creates settlement complexity
- Less brand recognition than Stripe or PayPal
How Does Dodo Payments Work with WordPress?
No official WordPress plugin
Dodo Payments does not have an official WordPress, WooCommerce, or EDD plugin. Integration requires custom development.
