PayChainHQ

Pricing

Pricing built for payment operations, not vanity tiers.

Start on PAYG, upgrade when the numbers justify it, and keep customer payment flows running while your billing state catches up.

Upgrades activate after payment

Businesses start on PAYG by default. When a team moves to a paid plan, the new plan activates only after the billing invoice is settled.

Renewals can fall back to PAYG

If a paid cycle invoice is not renewed by the end of the grace window, the subscription automatically drops back to PAYG.

Receiving stays open

Plan status does not block the core payment flow. Teams can continue receiving customer payments while billing is regularized.

Billing model

Designed to scale with transaction reality.

Invoice fee floor is enforced

PAYG uses a $0.10 invoice fee floor. Growth and Enterprise move that down to $0.05 while keeping lower percentage rates.

Gas remains pass-through

Network gas is not hidden inside marketing prices. The platform fee model stays explicit so finance teams can reconcile precisely.

Best fit depends on operational mix

If you mostly receive invoices, Growth lowers your effective rate. If you need custom treasury and payout terms, Enterprise is the right negotiation path.

FAQ

The operational questions teams ask before they go live.

What plan does a new business start on?

Every new business starts on PAYG. That keeps onboarding simple and lets teams process before committing to a monthly subscription.

Do I need to pay before upgrading?

Yes. A paid-plan upgrade creates a billing invoice. The new plan is applied only after that invoice is paid.

What happens if I miss a renewal?

At the end of the grace period, the account drops back to PAYG automatically. It does not need a fresh signup flow.

Are gas and network costs included?

Network gas remains pass-through. The pricing page reflects PayChainHQ platform fees and the operational fee model around invoices and payouts.
