Frequently asked questions
Is Paysight a good payment processor?
We are still completing our full review of Paysight. The preliminary score combines published pricing with early rating aggregates; the verified statement data that anchors our fact-check section is being collected.
What rate do Paysight merchants actually pay?
Paysight advertises 2.95% + $0.10 as its headline rate. Across the rate observations we have collected so far, the blended effective rate — everything paid divided by everything processed — typically lands around 3.03%.
How does Parity score Paysight?
We rate five categories — pricing (35%), features (25%), ease of use (20%), support (10%), and user reviews (10%) — and combine them into the Parity Score. Ratings are based on published pricing, real merchant statements, hands-on evaluation, and aggregated reviews. No provider can pay for a rating.
Is this a paid or sponsored review?
No. Parity reviews are editorially independent. Paysight did not pay for placement, cannot buy a score, and did not review this page before publication. When we earn a referral fee it never affects rankings — the fact-check methodology is the same either way.
How we review
Parity reviews are editorially independent. No provider can pay for a rating, sponsor a review, or see it before publication. When we earn a referral fee, it never affects scores or rankings.
The Parity Score weights five categories: pricing (35%), features (25%), ease of use (20%), customer support (10%), user reviews (10%). Category ratings come from published pricing, real merchant statements, hands-on evaluation, and ratings aggregated from review platforms and independent critics.
The fact-check section is what makes this review different: we benchmark advertised claims against 1,439 data points — merchant statements, observed rates, and published rate cards — and publish where the claims hold and where they do not. Last reviewed 2026-08-12 by the Parity research team.
