NetSuite Payment Gateways and Credit Card Processing: Options and Fees
Last updated: November 3, 2026 · Independent buyer’s guide · We do not sell rankings or coverage.
NetSuite payment gateways fall into three groups: NetSuite Pay, Oracle’s own offering processed by Versapay; SuitePayments partner plug-ins such as Cybersource and Adyen, which connect NetSuite to a processor you contract with directly; and third-party AR and payments platforms such as Versapay, PayTrace and the Stripe Connector for NetSuite. Only NetSuite Pay publishes a full fee schedule: 2.9% plus 30 cents per card authorization and a $200 monthly merchant account fee. Your choice depends less on that rate than on Level 2 and Level 3 data for B2B cards, surcharging, and how much settlement and fee reconciliation the tool posts into NetSuite.
Key takeaways
- NetSuite Pay charges 2.9% plus 30 cents per card authorization, 0.35% plus 30 cents per ACH payment capped at $8, and $200 a month. Other options mostly quote privately.
- NetSuite’s native Purchase Card Data module, which sends Level 2 and Level 3 data, works only with Cybersource Acquiring and MerchantE and is priced separately.
- Visa’s commercial card program changed: Level 2 interchange incentives ended in April 2026, and the Commercial Enhanced Data Program adds a 0.05% fee when you send enhanced data.
- NetSuite documentation does not describe a native surcharge feature, so surcharging comes from the processor or an add-on.
- NetSuite Pay and the paid Stripe Connector create NetSuite deposits with fee lines; a plain gateway plug-in usually leaves fee posting to you.
How card and ACH payments flow through NetSuite
A gateway passes the authorization from NetSuite to a processor, and the processor and acquiring bank settle the funds to your bank account. NetSuite connects to a gateway through a payment processing profile, which you create at Setup > Accounting > Payment Processing Profiles. Each profile is tied to a currency, subsidiary and set of payment methods (Oracle NetSuite Help, Creating Payment Processing Profiles, no date shown).
Oracle offers NetSuite Pay, with “pre-negotiated rates and fees,” and SuitePayments, which works with multiple processing partners. SuitePayments integrations are included in the license, but you contract directly with the provider for payment services (Oracle NetSuite, Payment Processing Software, no date shown). Partner solutions are listed on SuiteApp.com (Oracle NetSuite Help, Payment Gateways, no date shown).
For ACH you also have a non-card route. The Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp supports direct debit files, and the US format it lists is “ACH – PPD (NACHA)” (Oracle NetSuite Help, Direct Debit, no date shown). You upload the file to your bank, pay its ACH fees and handle returns yourself. Confirm with your bank that this format suits debits from business accounts before you rely on it for B2B customers.
Where card acceptance goes wrong for AR teams
- Fees are netted from deposits. The bank shows one net amount per batch while NetSuite holds gross payments, so without fee lines the gap needs a manual entry.
- Transactions processed outside NetSuite. If a web cart or virtual terminal uses the same merchant account, the processor’s settlement includes payments NetSuite never recorded.
- B2B cards priced as consumer cards. Commercial cards qualify for lower interchange only when the authorization carries enhanced data.
- Surcharges set up without the rules. Card brands require notice, disclosure and caps, and some states restrict surcharges.
- Payments land but stay unapplied. A portal or link payment may not reference the right invoice. Our guide to cash application software covers matching and unapplied cash.
Your options, compared
NetSuite Pay (processed by Versapay)
Oracle describes NetSuite Pay’s underwriting and merchant services as “powered by Versapay.” You install the NetSuite Pay SuiteApp, and Versapay underwriting approves your application. The dashboard content covers the United States and Canada (Oracle NetSuite Help, NetSuite Pay Overview, no date shown). Cards are approved in real time, ACH payments take 3 to 5 business days to settle, and only referenced refunds linked to an original sale are supported (Oracle NetSuite Help, NetSuite Pay FAQ: Payment Processing, no date shown).
Its main strength is reconciliation. A Settlement and Fee Reconciliation process creates deposits automatically, maps each fee type to a GL account, and sends unmatched items to an Open Settlement Report. Oracle states that native NetSuite bank reconciliation does not reconcile transaction fees and that this feature works only with NetSuite Pay. Funding is T+1 with no weekend funding (Oracle NetSuite Help, NetSuite Pay FAQ: Transaction Reconciliation, no date shown). The Oracle pages we reviewed do not mention Level 2 or Level 3 data or surcharging for NetSuite Pay, so ask about both before you sign.
SuitePayments gateway plug-ins (Cybersource, Adyen and others)
Cybersource offers a SuiteApp for NetSuite SuitePayments with tokenization, eCheck, fraud tools and “Level 2/3 data on select processors” (Cybersource, NetSuite technology partner page, no date shown). Adyen installs as an “ADYEN – SuitePayments Bundle” with tokenization, 3D Secure 2 and local payment methods, a separate Chargeback Workflow Bundle handles chargeback notifications, and each profile settles in one currency to one bank account (Adyen Docs, NetSuite plugin setup, no date shown). For point of sale, Oracle lists Shift4 UTG, Worldpay, FreedomPay and Linkly (Oracle NetSuite Help, Payment Gateways (POS), no date shown).
Plug-ins give you the widest choice of processor and the most room to negotiate interchange-plus pricing. Neither the Cybersource nor the Adyen page describes posting processor fees into NetSuite deposits, so plan to reconcile fees from processor reports. A gateway-only contract can add its own fee. Authorize.net, for example, publishes a gateway-only plan at $25 a month plus 10 cents per transaction and a 10 cent daily batch fee (Authorize.net, Pricing, no date shown).
Versapay ERP Payments
Versapay also sells its own NetSuite payments and AR product, with cards, ACH, virtual cards, a customer portal and automatic payment matching. It claims its “advanced level 2 and 3 data and interchange optimization” cuts costs by up to 20%, a vendor claim with no published method (Versapay, ERP Payments for Oracle NetSuite, no date shown). Its NetSuite Pay pricing page notes that its SuitePayments product is custom-quoted and takes longer to onboard than standard NetSuite Pay (Versapay, NetSuite Pay pricing, no date shown). Versapay sells both products.
PayTrace PayGen for NetSuite
PayTrace describes PayGen as running on its B2B payment platform so that users can authorize, charge, refund and void orders inside NetSuite. It lists interchange optimization, surcharging, ACH, and tools for cash deposits and reconciliation. The listing does not mention Level 2 or Level 3 by name and does not publish pricing (PayTrace, PayGen for NetSuite, no date shown). It suits companies that want surcharging and will switch processors.
Stripe Connector for NetSuite
Stripe’s free version adds payment links to NetSuite invoices but does not sync payments back. The full version, sold through a demo request, adds data sync, Stripe Billing integration and automated cash reconciliation (Stripe Docs, NetSuite connector plans, no date shown). With the full connector, Stripe creates payments and refunds in Undeposited Funds, then builds one NetSuite bank deposit per payout with separate fee lines for processing, currency conversion, disputes and refunds (Stripe Docs, Deposit automation, no date shown).
Stripe’s standard US rates are 2.9% plus 30 cents for domestic cards and 0.8% for ACH Direct Debit capped at $5.00 (Stripe, Pricing, no date shown). Stripe supports sending line-item data for Visa’s commercial program through its PaymentIntent API, Checkout and Billing (Stripe Support, Visa CEDP, no date shown). Test whether your NetSuite-initiated charges carry it. Our Stripe reconciliation guide walks through the payout, fee and dispute entries.

Level 2 and Level 3 data after Visa’s 2026 changes
In NetSuite’s terms, Level 2 adds details such as the tax code and customer code to the authorization, and Level 3 adds item, freight and destination detail. The native Purchase Card Data module works only with Cybersource Acquiring (using GPN) and MerchantE. You contact your account manager to provision it and to get pricing for the module, and you then check Send Purchase Card Data under Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features on the Transactions subtab (Oracle NetSuite Help, Purchase Card Data, no date shown). Other gateways send enhanced data through their own SuiteApps.
PayPal reports that Visa’s Commercial Enhanced Data Program (CEDP) launched in April 2025 with a 5 basis point (0.05%) fee, that Level 2 interchange incentives were sunset effective April 2026, and that a new “Product 3” classification replaces Commercial Level III for US commercial credit cards (PayPal, Visa’s Commercial Enhanced Data Program, February 17, 2026). PayPal sells processing. If a vendor quotes Level 2 savings on Visa cards, ask how the quote reflects these changes.
Surcharging rules to know before you switch it on
Visa limits a US credit card surcharge to the lower of your merchant discount rate or 3%, bans surcharges on debit and prepaid cards, requires 30 days’ notice to your acquirer, and requires the surcharge to appear as a separate line on the receipt. Visa’s document, current as of February 15, 2024, lists Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Puerto Rico as prohibiting surcharges, and Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York as having specific requirements (Visa, Merchant Surcharging Q&A, February 15, 2024). Mastercard caps surcharges at 4% or your average effective discount rate if lower, excludes debit and prepaid cards, and requires 30 days’ notice to both Mastercard and your acquirer (Mastercard, Merchant surcharge rules, no date shown).
NetSuite help does not document a native surcharge feature, so the processor or add-on has to detect debit cards and calculate the fee. State laws change, so confirm current rules with counsel.
Illustrative worked example
Illustration only. The company and volumes are invented; the rates are the published prices cited above. A distributor collects 100 invoices a month averaging $5,000, or $500,000 in total.
| Scenario (illustration) | Per payment | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|
| All by card on NetSuite Pay | $145.30 | $14,530 + $200 account fee = $14,730 |
| All by ACH on NetSuite Pay | $8.00 (cap) | $800 + $200 account fee = $1,000 |
| All by card on Stripe | $145.30 | $14,530 plus the unpublished connector fee |
| All by ACH on Stripe | $5.00 (cap) | $500 plus the unpublished connector fee |
In this illustration, the gap between card and ACH is far larger than the gap between providers. Interchange-plus pricing or Level 3 qualification can lower the card figure, but only a quote based on your card mix can show by how much.
Our independent take
For a US or Canadian company with moderate card volume, NetSuite Pay is the easiest option to evaluate because its prices are public and its fee reconciliation is built in. Its limits are a flat card rate and no documented Level 2/3 or surcharge features. If commercial cards make up a large share of your receipts, compare it with a Cybersource or Versapay quote that includes enhanced data. Choose PayTrace if surcharging is a priority, and the full Stripe Connector if you already bill through Stripe. In every case, run a week of test transactions and check that NetSuite deposits equal bank deposits to the cent.
Buyer scenarios
Manufacturer with mostly purchasing cards. Large government and corporate buyers pay by commercial card. Get quotes from Cybersource and Versapay that state how they handle Visa CEDP and Mastercard enhanced data, and check that NetSuite invoices carry the tax and line-item fields the processor needs.
Services firm moving clients from card to ACH. The goal is lower fees, and NetSuite Pay’s $8 ACH cap and automatic deposits fit well. Compare the $200 monthly fee with the bank’s ACH charges under the Electronic Bank Payments route.
SaaS company already billing in Stripe. Payments start in Stripe Billing, not in NetSuite. The full Stripe Connector posts each payout as a NetSuite deposit with fee lines. Ask Stripe for a price, and compare it with a third-party sync tool.
When you do not need a dedicated payments add-on
If you take a few dozen card payments a month, a gateway plug-in and a monthly fee journal entry from the processor statement are usually enough. If most customers pay by ACH credit or check, matching those receipts matters more, and NetSuite’s bank data import and matching rules may cover it, as our guide to NetSuite bank reconciliation explains. Add a dedicated tool when fees become material, commercial cards dominate receipts, or settlement differences hold up the close.
How we researched this
We read the pages ranking for “netsuite payment gateways” in November 2026 from SensePass, Anchor Group, Versich and Houseblend, all of which sell NetSuite payment products or services. Most list gateways without fees, and only Houseblend covers surcharging and Level 2/3 rules. We checked Oracle NetSuite Help, the Cybersource, Adyen, Stripe, Versapay, PayTrace and Authorize.net pages, and the Visa, Mastercard and PayPal rule pages on November 3, 2026. We have no commercial relationship with any vendor named, and no vendor reviewed this article.

Frequently asked questions
What payment gateways work with NetSuite?
NetSuite Pay is Oracle’s own option and is processed by Versapay. Through SuitePayments, NetSuite connects to partner gateways such as Cybersource and Adyen. Third-party products such as Versapay ERP Payments, PayTrace PayGen and the Stripe Connector for NetSuite add their own SuiteApps.
How much does NetSuite Pay cost?
Versapay’s NetSuite Pay pricing page lists 2.9% plus 30 cents per card authorization and 0.35% plus 30 cents per ACH payment capped at $8, plus a $200 monthly merchant account fee. It adds $20 per chargeback, ACH return or retrieval request and 1% for non-US cards. Oracle says there are no setup fees (Oracle NetSuite Help, Merchant Fees).
Does NetSuite support Level 3 credit card processing?
Yes, with limits. The native Purchase Card Data module sends Level 2 and Level 3 data, but only through Cybersource Acquiring and MerchantE, and Oracle provisions and prices it separately. Cybersource’s SuiteApp and Versapay also advertise enhanced data support.
Can I add a credit card surcharge to NetSuite invoices?
Not natively, based on the NetSuite documentation we reviewed. Processors such as PayTrace offer surcharging through their NetSuite integrations. Visa caps surcharges at 3% or your discount rate, Mastercard at 4%, neither network allows surcharges on debit or prepaid cards, and some states prohibit or restrict them.
Do I need the paid Stripe Connector to reconcile Stripe in NetSuite?
For automated reconciliation, yes. The free version only adds payment links to NetSuite invoices and does not sync payments. The full version creates a NetSuite deposit for each Stripe payout with fee, refund and dispute lines, and Stripe quotes its price on request.
