Cashfree Payment Gateway vs PayPal Braintree

Cashfree Payment Gateway lets businesses accept online payments through hosted checkout, web elements, mobile integrations, APIs, plugins, payment links, and forms. Cashfree lists 180+ payment modes, including UPI, cards, wallets, EMI, and Pay Later, and says merchants can accept international payments in 140+ currencies. Integration options include Android, iOS, React Native, and Flutter, with Shopify and WooCommerce plugins also listed. Cashfree says its UPI gateway connects to 8+ banks and routes transactions between them; the default UPI settlement cycle is T+2 days, while instant settlements are available to eligible businesses. It lists PCI DSS, ISO 9001, and ISO 27001 certifications and identifies itself as an RBI-authorised Payment Aggregator. Onboarding is described as paperless, with a payment expert contacting new sign-ups within 24 working hours. Standard platform fees are priced on request, deducted from successful transactions before settlement. A festive offer gives eligible new merchants no gateway fees on the first ₹20L of GMV, though GST applies and exclusions and campaign conditions apply.
