If you’ve searched for a Stripe alternative, you’re usually not rejecting great APIs — you’re rejecting the tax, entity, and recovery work that comes with being the merchant of record yourself.
Rollo is built as a Merchant of Record: one all-in rate (5.9% + $0.50), hosted checkout, payment links, subscriptions, and realtime webhooks — without assembling a PSP stack.
