Payments, reimagined for how you actually work.
Paytab is the all-in-one payment platform for modern UK businesses. Accept cards, wallets and bank transfers, manage subscriptions, send payouts and reconcile the books — all from one beautifully designed dashboard.
Built and regulated in London. Trusted by 12,000+ merchants from first-day startups to publicly listed retailers. Transparent pricing, one login, and a real human on the phone when it matters.
One platform. Every way to get paid.
Every product below shares the same customer data, the same balance and the same beautifully unified dashboard — so you never have to reconcile between tools again.
Figures reflect combined Paytab network performance across 2024–2025. Individual results and SLAs vary by plan — see our pricing page and service terms for guaranteed commitments.
Every method your customers actually want.
Enable a new payment method with a single toggle — no re-integration, no code change. Paytab automatically shows shoppers the methods most likely to convert for their device, country and cart size.
Built for every kind of business.
From a first-time seller to a listed retailer — Paytab flexes to fit your model, not the other way around.
Higher checkout conversion with wallets, BNPL and local methods enabled by default.
MRR, ARR, cohort retention and revenue recognition, native.
Split payments, contributor payouts and hosted onboarding for sellers.
Trials, coupons, seat-based, metered, hybrid — pricing your way.
Charity rates, Gift Aid, recurring donations and donor portals.
Tap to Pay, card readers and unified in-person + online reporting.
Live in an afternoon, not a quarter.

Enable the methods your customers actually want, and start settling money into your bank the next business day.
A payments API that actually feels good.
Clean REST endpoints, idempotency by default, versioned responses, and SDKs for Node, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, and Java. Deep webhooks, live logs, and a test mode indistinguishable from production.

Everything Paytab does is built on the same six ideas. If a feature doesn't ladder up to one of them, it doesn't ship.
Bank-grade security
PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and hardware-backed key management on every request.
Real-time analytics
Cohort, LTV, MRR, ARR and payout reports that update the moment money moves.
Instant activation
Sign up, take a test payment, complete KYC and settle to your bank — usually in the same day.
Truly global
Accept payments from 180+ countries in 135+ currencies with automatic FX and local methods.
Developer-first
Clean REST, idempotency by default, typed SDKs, sandbox indistinguishable from production.
Humans, not bots
24/7 support with a median first response of under 12 minutes. Named account managers on Growth+.
Plays nicely with the tools you already use.
Native plugins for the biggest e-commerce, accounting and automation platforms — plus a fully open API for everything else.

NotionLoved by finance and engineering teams alike.
"We migrated from a legacy processor in a weekend and saw a 6% lift in approval rate the first Monday. Support is genuinely excellent."
"The dashboard is the first one my finance team actually enjoys using. Reconciliation that used to take days is done before lunch."
"Paytab's smart retries recovered £180k of failed subscription payments in our first quarter. That's more than paid for the whole platform."
"We shipped our marketplace in eight weeks with Paytab Connect. Building split payments and KYC ourselves would have taken six months."
"One number to call. One dashboard. One reconciliation file. After years of stitching things together, this feels like a superpower."
"Tap to Pay on our team's phones replaced £14k of card terminals overnight. And the reporting is finally in the same place as our online sales."
