TL;DR 11 gateways support Turkey

Iyzico (owned by PayU) covers domestic TRY settlement plus EUR/USD acceptance at 2% + GST — the default for Turkish merchants.

Gateways that work in Turkey

Stripe logo

Stripe

Developer-first payment infrastructure powering millions of businesses worldwide

Pick Stripe when developer experience, API quality, and ecosystem breadth matter more than the lowest per-transaction fee — it's the default choice for SaaS, marketplaces, and subscription businesses.

2.9% + 30¢ ◆◆ Moderate
Checkout.com logo

Checkout.com

Enterprise-grade global acquiring with custom-quote pricing — built for high-volume merchants, not first-time builders.

Pick Checkout.com when you process meaningful volume (low-millions+ ARR), need local acquiring across UK/EEA/MENAP/APAC, and want negotiated interchange++ rates plus white-glove account management. Pick Stripe or Adyen Express otherwise.

Custom quote (interchange++ or flat); no setup / monthly fees ◆◆◆ Complex
Paddle logo

Paddle

Merchant of Record platform handling payments, tax, and compliance for SaaS businesses globally

Pick Paddle when you want to sell software globally without handling tax compliance, VAT filings, or chargeback disputes — the higher fee buys complete peace of mind for solo founders and small teams.

5% + 50¢ ◆ Simple
Polar logo

Polar

Open-source Merchant of Record billing built for developers selling SaaS and digital products

Pick Polar when you want the cheapest Merchant of Record option (4% + 40¢) with the best developer experience in the category — ideal for indie hackers and small SaaS teams who value clean SDKs, open-source transparency, and global tax compliance over a long track record.

4% + 40¢ ◆ Simple
FastSpring logo

FastSpring

Veteran Merchant of Record for SaaS, software, and digital goods with 20+ years of payments, tax, and subscription plumbing

Pick FastSpring when you want a mature, enterprise-grade MoR with deep subscription tooling, localized payment methods in 200+ regions, and PCI Level 1 + SOC 2 Type 2 compliance — and you can stomach quote-based pricing that's meaningfully higher than transparent competitors like Paddle.

Quote-based (reported ~5.9% + 95¢) ◆◆ Moderate
Payhip logo

Payhip

Turkey · non-Stripe markets

Simple creator storefront with low fees and a partial-MoR for EU/UK VAT only

Pick Payhip if you want the cheapest beginner-friendly storefront for digital products, courses, or memberships — especially outside the US/UK/EU Stripe belt. Not the right pick if you need a full global Merchant of Record, a first-class REST API, or a white-label checkout.

5% Free · 2% Plus ($29/mo) · 0% Pro ($99/mo) ◆ Simple
Whop logo

Whop

All-in-one creator commerce: communities, courses, and digital products

Pick Whop if you sell access-based products (Discord/Telegram communities, courses, software licenses) and want a built-in marketplace plus an optional Merchant-of-Record mode — but be ready for strict risk controls and reserves.

2.7% + $0.30 (cards) plus reported 3% platform fee ◆◆ Moderate
Razorpay logo

Razorpay

India's full-stack payments platform — UPI-native, RBI-regulated, with 100+ currency acceptance

Pick Razorpay if you're registered in India (or Malaysia/Singapore via Curlec) and need native UPI, Autopay, and local payment methods — it's the default for Indian SaaS and D2C, but account-stability complaints are common enough to plan around.

2% + GST (domestic) ◆◆ Moderate
PayU logo

PayU

Turkey · via Iyzico subsidiary

Prosus-owned India-focused payment aggregator with 130+ currency acceptance and a Turkey/SEA footprint

Pick PayU if you're an India-registered merchant that needs the widest cross-border currency coverage of any local gateway and is willing to navigate a heavier KYC/onboarding process — but plan for support that's slower than Razorpay and a track record of long settlement holds.

2% + GST (domestic) ◆◆ Moderate
Gumroad logo

Gumroad

Creator-focused Merchant of Record for digital products — fastest zero-to-first-sale, steep price at scale

Pick Gumroad to validate a digital product in a weekend — migrate off before you scale. Not the right tool if you need a white-label checkout, reliable high-ticket economics, or responsive support.

10% + $0.50 direct · 30% marketplace ◆ Simple
Lemon Squeezy logo

Lemon Squeezy

Merchant of record platform for selling software, SaaS, and digital products with built-in global tax compliance

Pick Lemon Squeezy when you want zero tax headaches and a fast setup for selling digital products or SaaS — it handles VAT, sales tax, and compliance as merchant of record so you don't have to, but expect higher effective fees and limited support if anything goes wrong.

5% + 50¢ ◆ Simple

Frequently asked questions

Which payment gateway should I use for domestic Turkish customers? +

Iyzico (acquired by PayU in 2019 for $165M and operating under the Iyzico brand in Turkey) is the default for TRY-denominated checkout. It supports TRY settlement plus EUR/USD acceptance at PayU's published domestic rate of 2% + GST. Payouts run per Iyzico's schedule. Payhip also routes Turkish sellers through Iyzico as its regional processor, which confirms Iyzico's role as the local rail for anyone building in Turkey.

Can I use Stripe in Turkey? +

Yes — Stripe supports Turkey directly in its Middle East & North Africa availability row, no invite required (unlike India). TRY is one of the supported settlement currencies alongside AED, SAR, EGP, and others. Pricing follows Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢, plus +1.5% on international cards and +1% on currency conversion. Payout timing varies by country within the MENA bucket — Stripe's published reference is T+5 business days for UAE.

What's the best stack for a SaaS targeting both Turkish and international customers? +

Most builders run Iyzico for domestic TRY + Stripe for international (USD/EUR checkout). If you want one integration instead of two and don't want to manage Turkish VAT plus global tax filings, use a merchant-of-record like Paddle or Lemon Squeezy at ~5% + 50¢. Heads up: Lemon Squeezy announced in 2026 it's migrating merchants onto Stripe Managed Payments — check current docs before committing long-term.

Is PayPal available in Turkey? +

No. PayPal has been banned in Turkey since 2016. Our gateway dataset explicitly lists Turkey on PayPal's "Not Available" row alongside Russia, Pakistan, and sanctioned markets. For Turkish merchants and for customers inside Turkey, PayPal simply isn't an option — route TRY checkout through Iyzico, Stripe, or a merchant-of-record instead. This is one of the few markets where PayPal can't be part of the default stack.

Which merchant-of-record platforms support Turkey? +

Paddle lists TRY among its 29+ supported currencies and acts as seller of record at 5% + 50¢, handling Turkish VAT and global tax remittance. Lemon Squeezy settles in USD via PayPal at 5% + 50¢. Polar routes via Stripe Connect Express with Turkey in its 195+ country list at 4% + 40¢. All three let you skip Turkish billing plumbing for a higher percentage fee.

Can I accept Turkish customers without a Turkish entity? +

Yes. If you incorporate outside Turkey, several gateways in our dataset will still accept payments from Turkish buyers: Stripe (cards from Turkish customers process on any supported merchant account), Paddle and Lemon Squeezy (MoR — they handle Turkish VAT for you), and Gumroad, Whop, or Polar for lighter-weight setups. Only Iyzico (PayU) requires a Turkish-registered entity.
