Guide Nº 008

Recurrente or QPayPro: which one?

Both are Guatemalan gateways for online card payments. The right one depends on fees, currencies, subscriptions and requirements; the Spanish guide compares what each publishes.

What I learned connecting them

When integrating payments for real clients, the button is the easy part. What takes time is defining what happens before and after: the price in each currency, the customer confirmation, what your team sees when a charge fails, and how it is all recorded.

Questions

Which is better, Recurrente or QPayPro?

It depends on what you sell: compare fees, currencies, subscription support and account requirements.

Can I use both?

Yes. Some businesses use one as the main gateway and the other as a backup, or one for one-time payments and the other for subscriptions.

Does my site need to be built for a specific gateway?

Not necessarily, but connecting it well (prices, currencies, notices and confirmations) is website work: decide before building.
