About CCAvenue

CCAvenue is one of India's oldest payment gateways, run by Infibeam Avenues. Businesses add its checkout to a website or app to accept credit and debit cards, netbanking, UPI, wallets and EMI, and can also take payments by invoice, subscriptions, a simple storefront and payment links. A notable strength is multi-currency processing, which lets Indian merchants show prices and charge international customers in currencies such as US dollars, pounds, euros and dirhams. Pricing is a percentage platform fee per transaction that varies by payment method, with no setup fee; there is also a yearly software upgradation charge after the first year, and custom pricing for large merchants. It suits Indian businesses of all sizes, especially those selling abroad, though its dashboard and integration experience feel older than newer gateways. Management is through a web dashboard and mobile app.

Best for: Indian merchants who want a long-established gateway with multi-currency checkout.
