Stripe is the default. Quadriel is the alternative for businesses that collect — recurring payments, invoices, high-value Direct Debit and in-person card — with every rate published and underwriting done up front.
Bacs is a core rail here, not an add-on: 0.9% + 15p, or a flat £2.00 per collection on the high-value plan — built for B2B invoices, rent and memberships.
A full VAT invoice builder that raises its own pay link, with a QR code on the PDF. Unlimited, unmetered — not a percentage of every paid invoice.
Instant-signup providers review your risk after volume arrives — which is when accounts freeze. Quadriel underwrites first, so live means live.
One line of code opens checkout in-page on your site. No hosted-page detour, no drop-off at the handover.
1% + 15p consumer UK cards, 1.8% + 15p business cards, published caps, no hidden tiers — and no quote cycle to discover what you’ll pay.
Stripe has a longer global tail. If you need tax engines or incorporation, use Stripe. If you need to collect, invoice and reconcile in the UK — that’s exactly what Quadriel is for.
