Everything you need to know about GatewayScout, our
matching process, and how we help businesses get
approved.
How GatewayScout Works
What is GatewayScout and how does it work?
GatewayScout is a payment provider matching platform designed specifically for businesses that
have been rejected by mainstream processors like Stripe or PayPal. You submit one application
and our system automatically routes it to multiple payment providers who specialize in your
industry and geography. You then compare offers and choose the best fit, all for free.
Is GatewayScout free to use?
Yes. Businesses can submit an application, review matches, and explore
providers without paying setup fees.
Who is GatewayScout designed for?
GatewayScout is built for businesses that need specialized payment support,
especially higher-risk industries underserved by traditional processors.
Applications
What information do I need to apply?
Typical requirements include business details, website, processing history,
and basic ownership information.
How long does the application take?
Most businesses can complete the initial submission in just a few minutes.
Can I track my application status?
Yes, GatewayScout provides visibility into your status, matched providers,
and next steps.
What if my application is rejected by all providers?
We continue optimizing routes where possible and help surface other provider
options when available.
Matching Process
How does the matching algorithm work?
Matching considers industry, geography, risk profile, business model, and
provider underwriting preferences.
How many providers will I be matched with?
The number varies, but we route your application to multiple relevant
providers instead of forcing one option.
Am I obligated to work with a matched provider?
No. You stay in control and can choose the offer that best fits your
business.
Providers
How are providers selected for my business?
Providers are matched using your industry, location, risk profile, business
model, and underwriting fit so you only see relevant options.
Can I compare provider offers before choosing?
Yes. GatewayScout is designed to help you review multiple matches and
compare terms before deciding.
Pricing & Fees
Does GatewayScout charge businesses any fees?
No setup fee is charged to submit and review your matches through
GatewayScout.
Will my rates be worse because I applied through GatewayScout?
No. Our goal is to improve access and comparison, not add hidden markups for
businesses.
Industries
Which industries does GatewayScout support?
We support a wide range of high-risk and specialist industries including
supplements, CBD, forex, crypto, adult, gambling, and more.
Can mainstream-rejected businesses still apply?
Yes. GatewayScout is specifically built for businesses that have struggled
to get approved through mainstream processors.
Security & Privacy
Is my business data safe with GatewayScout?
Yes. We protect submitted business information and only route it to relevant
providers in the matching process.
Can I request my data be deleted?
Yes. You can contact support to request deletion or review of stored
application data.
