Build checkout on your terms

Primer’s visual builder is powerful for operations teams who want to move without engineering support. Spreedly is API-first, so product teams can build fully custom, branded checkout experiences without working around an opinionated UI.

One fee, not two

Primer charges an orchestration fee on top of whatever your processor charges. Spreedly’s pricing is volume-based, so you’re paying for the infrastructure once, not on every transaction that runs through it.

Infrastructure built for platforms and marketplaces

For vertical SaaS platforms and marketplaces managing payments across multiple merchants, Spreedly’s multi-tenant architecture handles sub-merchant onboarding, split payments, and complex payout models at scale. That’s a structural capability, not a configuration option.
