SSL securedCard Processing vs Complete Business
PayPlug handles cards. You handle everything else.
PayPlug is a French payment gateway with solid fraud protection. But to run a complete online business, you still need a website, invoicing, subscription management, and a customer portal.
With PayPlug, you process cards. With PayFacile, you run your business.
Everything included. Nothing to plug in.
Built-in Website
Create your site with our visual editor. Custom domain, white label. No PrestaShop, no Shopify, no developer needed.
Automatic Invoicing
Compliant invoices, automatic retries (dunning), VAT handling. PayPlug does not handle invoicing natively.
SEPA & Direct Debit
Accept SEPA direct debit via GoCardless. PayPlug does not natively support direct debit.
Full Customer Portal
Your customers manage their own subscription, invoices, and payment method. PayPlug does not offer a customer portal.
Workflows & Automations
Trigger automatic actions: welcome emails, payment reminders, segmentation. No Zapier required.
EU-Hosted & GDPR Compliant
Data hosted in the EU (AWS Dublin). GDPR compliant, PCI/DSS certified, PSD2 compliant. PayPlug is also French and EU-compliant.
PayPlug is built for French merchants with a CMS
If you run a PrestaShop or Shopify store and want a French payment gateway with strong fraud protection and local support: PayPlug is a solid choice. Their Smart 3-D Secure technology reduces fraud while maintaining conversion. They are owned by BPCE (Banque Populaire), which adds banking-grade credibility.
But if you do not have a store yet, need subscriptions, courses, or membership management, and want everything in one platform without a developer: PayFacile is built for you. No CMS required. No plugin to install. Everything works out of the box.
