Choose Lidio if

Mid-sized and large merchants, marketplaces and multinationals in Türkiye that need multi-bank routing and advanced payment flows.

  • Works with your existing bank POS agreements, not only its own
  • Routing and retries can raise approval rates on failed transactions
  • Broad Turkish payment coverage, including TROY cards and installments

Look elsewhere if: Small shops or freelancers that want instant sign-up with transparent fees and no integration work (iyzico, PayTR, Shopier).

Choose Stripe if

Developers and companies in supported countries who want full control over payments and billing.

  • Best-in-class API and documentation
  • Covers payments, billing, tax, fraud and marketplaces
  • Reliable at scale with strong uptime

Look elsewhere if: Founders in unsupported countries or small sellers who prefer a merchant of record to avoid tax administration.
