Automatically route edtech payments to the lowest-fee gateway for international students.
Edtech entrepreneurs for small businesses lose 15% of revenue to payment gateway issues and high fees, especially when serving international students.
EduPayPilot integrates multiple payment gateways and intelligently routes each transaction based on student location, currency, and historical success rates to minimize fees and declines. Edtech founders embed a simple checkout widget, and the platform handles routing in real-time. This recovers the typical 15% revenue loss without changing your existing course platform.
