International card payments tools for Indian businesses
The 4 international card payments tools we track, with verified India pricing (forex-adjusted), honest trade-offs, and the caveats most directories skip.
Quick answer: of the 4 international card payments tools we track, 1 offer a free plan, and paid monthly plans run about ₹100–₹100 for a GST-registered business (after the card forex markup). The prices below are the India cost for a registered business, not the sticker. GST is extra if you cannot reclaim it.
| Tool | India price | Free plan | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cashfree Payments | Usage-based | Yes | Indian e-commerce and D2C brands collecting payments online |
| Paytm Payment Gateway | Usage-based | — | Indian merchants wanting the widest payment-method coverage in one integration |
| PhonePe Payment Gateway | Usage-based | — | Indian D2C and SMB sellers whose customers pay mostly via UPI |
| CCAvenue | ₹100/mo | — | Indian businesses wanting broad payment options |
Prices are the entry plan converted to rupees at an effective card rate (mid-market plus the forex markup), the cost a GST-registered business nets. GST adds 18% if you cannot reclaim it, and some Indian vendors already include it. Indicative, not your exact bill. Confirm each plan on the vendor site.
