Questions we get asked

What happens on a declined payment?
Nothing is charged. The platform fee only applies when money actually moves. Cascading a decline to a second processor doesn't cost anything either.
Where does the money settle?
Into your own bank account. Your Certus Processing account is opened after a short review and managed from the dashboard; you keep full ownership, payouts on your schedule, and a live view of balance and payouts.
Can I keep my existing processor?
Yes. Add your own gateway keys as a route and payment flows can send traffic there alongside your Certus Processing account. Orchestration and messaging work the same either way.
How do subscriptions get charged?
Renewals are billed through your Certus Processing account, or your own gateway, with the same 1.25% platform fee. Dunning sequences run automatically on failed renewals at no additional cost.
