Capabilities

A payment gateway with the full high-risk toolkit.

A high-risk gateway earns its place with infrastructure, not promises. This is the full technical picture: cards, local methods, security, disputes, payouts and integration.

Cards, worldwide

Card acceptance through acquirers that underwrite high-risk business models on their own terms.

Visa & Mastercard

Acceptance through acquirers that accept high-risk verticals across Europe, Asia and offshore jurisdictions.

3DS2 routing

Version 2.2 with exemption handling: frictionless authentication where it helps approval, challenge where it protects liability.

Multi-currency processing

Present in the customer's currency, settle in yours, with DCC where it makes sense for the model.

Recurring and one-click

Card-on-file, subscription and continuity billing with scheme-compliant mandate handling.

MOTO & virtual terminal

Mail-order and telephone-order payments with a virtual terminal for manual entries.

Card account updater

Card-on-file details refresh automatically when cards expire or are replaced, so subscriptions keep billing without customer friction.

Local payment methods

High-risk merchants sell across borders. Your customers pay with what they already trust.

Pix

Brazil's instant payment rail, essential for any LatAm-facing operation.

iDEAL

The default Dutch online payment method, via local acquiring.

SEPA & bank transfers

Direct debits and credit transfers across the Single Euro Payments Area.

Open banking

Account-to-account payments where bank rails beat cards on cost.

Wallets

Regional wallets where they dominate checkout share.

Crypto settlement

Accept fiat, settle stablecoins or crypto where the model and jurisdiction allow it.

Security & compliance

Cardholder data, fraud and screening handled to the standards acquirers expect from a high-risk gateway.

PCI DSS Level 1

Cardholder data handled on PCI DSS Level 1 compliant infrastructure, the highest level of the standard.

Fraud scoring

Transaction-level rules, velocity checks, device signals and per-vertical thresholds tuned during onboarding.

Chargeback alerts

Early-warning feeds from the schemes so disputes are resolved before they become chargebacks.

KYC & AML screening

Onboarding checks aligned with acquirer requirements in your jurisdiction.

Tokenization

Card data stored as tokens, never as raw numbers, in your gateway vault.

Compliance mapping

We map your PCI scope and list the exact documents and SAQ the acquirer expects before activation. Filing remains yours. The map is ours.

Chargeback management

Disputes decide whether a high-risk account lives or dies. The toolkit treats them as a process, not an emergency.

Representment

Evidence assembly and response filing within scheme deadlines, with templates per dispute reason code.

Dispute analytics

Monthly breakdown by reason code, product and market so you fix the cause, not the symptom.

Alert-based prevention

Refund-before-dispute workflows triggered by scheme alerts, cutting chargeback counts directly.

Ratio monitoring

Continuous tracking against Visa and Mastercard thresholds, with warnings before a program becomes a problem.

Payouts & settlement

Getting money out is half the product for platforms, brokers and marketplaces.

Scheduled settlement

Daily, weekly or custom settlement cycles defined in your offer.

API payouts

Automated payouts to suppliers, affiliates and sellers, in the currencies you need.

Multi-account routing

Split settlement across entities and currencies where the model requires it.

Rolling reserve reporting

Transparent reserve balances with release dates, visible in the dashboard and the reports.

Integration

If your platform has a checkout, OpenGate can sit behind it.

REST API

Full payment, refund, payout and webhook API with a test environment.

Hosted checkout

A payment page with your brand, 3DS2 and fraud scoring included, live in hours.

Plugins

Connectors for the major e-commerce platforms, CRM systems and subscription engines.

Pay-by-link

Invoice links for high-ticket, consultation and B2B payments, with expiry and limits.

FAQ

Capabilities FAQ

Which currencies can I settle in?

Major currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, SGD, BRL and more, depending on the acquirer that fits your file. Settlement currency is agreed in the offer.

Is 3DS2 mandatory for high-risk merchants?

In most jurisdictions yes, and it is in your interest: authenticated transactions shift liability away from you on fraud-coded disputes. Our routing applies it where it protects you without killing approval rates.

Can I keep my current gateway and add OpenGate for specific markets?

Yes. Many merchants run a high-risk gateway alongside another processor for specific verticals, currencies or markets. The API makes parallel routing straightforward.

Do you support crypto payouts?

Stablecoin and crypto settlement is available where the model and the merchant's jurisdiction allow it. It is agreed explicitly in the offer.
