Mercatus

Mercatus is the modern investment data management platform for private markets. The job it does: accepting cards, bank transfers and wallets online or in person.

Who is it for? Mostly any business that takes money. They also list Cloud Computing, Data Management, Financial Services and FinTech, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Mercatus is based in San Mateo, California. Their site is gomercatus.com.

Before you commit, look at rates, payout timing, chargeback handling, and developer tools. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Mercatus, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
