None of that makes it a bad provider. It scores 6.9 on the same weights applied to every alternative below, and for a large share of merchants it remains the right answer. The pages worth reading before switching are the full card and the weights.

Non-custodial plus plugins is a rare combination#

This provider settles to a wallet you control and maintains plugins for five ecommerce platforms. Across thirty-five indexed providers, that pairing appears three times, and it is the property most likely to be missed after switching.

Two of the three alternatives below are custodial. If custody is why you chose this provider, NOWPayments is the only replacement here that preserves it, and the custody guide covers why that matters more than the rate.

The asset list is the likely reason to move#

Twelve published assets across seven networks, which includes Monero, Dash and Zcash — an unusual spread that suits a specific kind of merchant and is short for a general store.

Cryptomus publishes around 120 and NOWPayments more than three hundred and fifty. Either resolves breadth completely, and neither publishes the privacy-asset support that makes this card distinctive.

Check the privacy assets before you shortlist#

If any meaningful share of your volume arrives in Monero, this page effectively has no alternatives on it: none of the three names it among their networks. That is worth establishing in five minutes rather than discovering after a migration.

The same applies to Zcash and Dash. Breadth in general does not imply breadth in the specific assets you actually receive, and a larger published count can still be a narrower list for your customers.

Where each replacement is stronger#

Cryptomus for a store wanting more coverage with more plugins, at a lower published entry rate, accepting custodial settlement in exchange.

NOWPayments for maximum breadth while keeping non-custodial settlement, at the cost of published platform integrations, which it does not enumerate.

CoinGate for a merchant who has decided fee transparency matters more than either: the fullest published table in the index, and free euro settlement over SEPA.

The white-label question#

This provider documents a white-label offering, as do Cryptomus and CoinGate. If you are reselling checkout under your own brand, all three remain viable and none of them publishes what that tier costs.

The white-label list covers the whole set and the questions worth asking, since a feature six providers offer and none prices is negotiated rather than bought.

What a switch actually involves#

If you are moving to another plugin-carrying provider, the integration work is small. The larger job is the wallet arrangement: leaving non-custodial settlement means funds stop arriving where they arrive today.

Decide who withdraws, how often, and to where, before the cutover. The accounting guide covers what changes in reconciliation when settlement stops being a direct chain payment to your own address.

Ask about the assets you actually receive#

A published count is not a list, and the privacy assets that make this card distinctive do not appear at any alternative here. Get the enumerated list from each shortlisted provider before scoping work.

Ten minutes with your own payment history settles it. Count distinct assets by volume rather than by transaction, since the tail usually looks larger by count than it is by revenue.

The custody handover is the real project#

Moving to a custodial provider means funds stop arriving at your own address and start accumulating in somebody else's balance, which changes who withdraws, how often, and what happens if they fail.

The custody guide covers the trade in both directions, and it is worth a deliberate decision rather than a side effect of choosing on rate.

Five plugins on a non-custodial provider is unusual#

WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, WHMCS and an API, with settlement to a wallet you control. Most non-custodial providers in this index publish few or no platform integrations, which makes this card the practical choice for a shop rather than an API.

NOWPayments, the other non-custodial option here, enumerates no platforms at all. If you are on a supported store today, that is the specific thing you would be giving up.

The published 0.5% and what sits beside it#

It is a competitive entry rate and it covers processing only; conversion is unpublished, as at two of the three alternatives. Only CoinGate states an exchange fee, at 1% on manual conversions.

For a merchant settling in crypto that gap does not matter and this card is very strong. For one converting to bank currency it is the number that decides everything, and it has to come by email from whichever provider you pick.

Non-custodial plus plugins is the thing to protect#

That pairing appears three times across thirty-five providers. If you are on a supported storefront today and funds arrive at your own address, establish which half you are willing to lose, because every option on this page costs you one of them.

What the table above cannot show you#

Whether your customers actually pay in the privacy assets that make this card distinctive. None of the three alternatives names Monero, Dash or Zcash, so this is worth checking before anything else.

Nor what taking or giving up key custody means inside your organisation. That is a staffing question rather than a product one, and it does not appear in any comparison table.

How to migrate from Plisio

  1. Check the privacy assets before shortlisting. Monero, Dash and Zcash appear on this card and at none of the alternatives. If any meaningful share of your volume arrives in them, this migration removes payment methods rather than adding them.
  2. Decide whether custody is changing. Two of the three alternatives are custodial. Moving means funds stop arriving at your own addresses and start accumulating in somebody else balance, which changes who withdraws, how often and what a provider failure costs.
  3. Document the plugin reconciliation. You are on a plugin-based integration and moving to another one. They look identical from outside and differ in how they record partial payments and expired invoices, which is where your reconciliation lives.
  4. Ask about the white-label tier. This card documents white label, as do two alternatives, and none of them publishes what it costs. If you use it, get the price as a structure — setup, monthly, or a higher rate — before committing.
  5. Overlap, then retire the old flow. Keep this provider live while the replacement takes a share of traffic for a cycle. Then export history, move any remaining balance, revoke the key and keep the webhook endpoint answering 200 for a fortnight.

Questions merchants ask

Why do merchants leave Plisio?

Twelve listed assets is a narrow range for a merchant selling internationally. Neither conversion nor payout cost is published, so 0.5% is a floor rather than an all-in figure. Both points were checked against the provider's own pages on 2026-08-31.

What is the closest alternative to Plisio?

Cryptomus is the closest substitute for most merchants: A comparable floor rate with 120+ assets and white label available. It scores 7.4 against 6.9 on the same published weights.

Is switching crypto payment gateway difficult?

A day to integrate, a month to trust. Move a slice of traffic first and keep the incumbent live throughout.

Will I lose payment history when I switch?

Only the part you cannot rebuild. Chain data survives; the Plisio invoice record has no published retention.
