Published: June 2, 2025 • by Dalverle Editorial Team

In 2025, customers want flexibility and speed when it comes to payments. Whether you're running a small eatery or a nationwide food brand, choosing the right payment gateway is critical to your customer experience and cash flow.

1. Stripe

Popular in North America, Europe, and expanding globally, Stripe is developer-friendly, secure, and ideal for advanced integrations. Perfect for food businesses with custom apps or SaaS extensions.

2. Paystack

Dominant in Nigeria and West Africa, Paystack supports seamless card payments, bank transfers, and local options. It integrates smoothly with Dalverle and is trusted by thousands of African food brands.

3. Flutterwave

Great for pan-African operations. Flutterwave supports multi-currency payments and wide regional coverage. Ideal for food businesses scaling across multiple countries.
