How It Works & Pricing
Take Payments Without the Monkey Business
In the world of card payments, things can get messy fast. Long contracts, hidden charges, and confusing acronyms are how traditional providers keep you tied up. But at Gorilla Pay, we believe it shouldn’t be that way.
We make it simple to take payments with honest pricing, 30-day rolling contracts, and zero hidden extras. No snakes in the grass. Just fair, flexible deals that help your business take payments and grow.
Why We’re Different
Most providers love small print. They’ll promise low rates but bury charges in the fine details: PCI DSS compliance fees, “cardholder not present” surcharges, portal access charges, minimum monthly service fees, and even per-transaction authorisation fees. At just 3p to 5p a time, these can quietly add up to £90–£150 a month if you’re handling 100 transactions a day.
That means you could end up paying hundreds of pounds more every month than you expected. Worse still, most providers force you to sign multi-year equipment leases that make it nearly impossible to leave.
At Gorilla Pay, we flipped the script:
- No leases – You’ll never be trapped in a 4-year contract.
- No hidden fees – What you see is what you pay.
- No authorisation fees – We don’t sneak in per-transaction costs.
- No cancellation penalties – Leave any time with 7 days’ notice.
- No PCI DSS charges – Compliance should never cost you extra.
- Dual cameras - 2MP front and 5MP rear for scanning and mobile payments
We cut through the jungle and give you a deal that’s clear, fair, and easy to understand.

Pricing at a Glance
Here’s how Gorilla Pay compares to traditional providers:
Our contracts are just 30 days, not the 3–5 years most others demand. We charge no PCI DSS fees, saving you £10–£30/month, and there are no minimum monthly service charges, so quiet periods don’t cost you.
Unlike others, we don’t increase rates for cardholder-not-present or corporate card payments, and there are no cancellation penalties, leave any time.
We also don’t lease machines. Where others charge £20–£50/month for equipment you’ll never own, ours come with a simple one-off cost.
A key difference? No authorisation fees. Most providers charge 3p–5p per transaction, adding up to £90–£150/month if you’re processing 100 sales a day, and many won’t tell you upfront.
With Gorilla Pay, there’s no small print. Just honest pricing and full transparency.
It’s a Jungle Out There, But We’ve Got Your Back
