What Actually Changes

Four Reasons to Leave Stripe

01

Native E-Invoicing

Stripe doesn't talk to SDI: you need an external plugin or software just to invoice. Daevon sends every invoice to the Revenue Agency automatically, with no extra integration.

02

IC++ vs Opaque Flat Rates

On every European transaction Stripe keeps a flat 1.5%. Daevon splits interchange from its own markup: the real cost starts at 0.35%, with no hidden margin.

03

Dedicated Local Support

For a Stripe issue, you open a ticket and write in English. With Daevon you get a dedicated account manager, in your language, who knows the rules of the local market.

04

Cross-Merchant User Recognition

The cookies Stripe relies on have well-known privacy and accuracy limits. Daevon recognizes the same user across merchants via tax code, lifting conversion rates.

Security Standards

The Same Certifications, Without the Bank Price Tag

PCI DSS Level 1

The highest certification level for payment data, the same standard Stripe uses.

Network Tokenization

Visa and Mastercard tokenize card data directly at the network level, cutting fraud by 26%.

AI-Driven Anti-Fraud

Every transaction runs through a real-time machine learning model, with logic similar to Stripe Radar but included in the price.

Integrated PCI Proxy

Sensitive data never touches your servers: the proxy encrypts it upstream, so your team skips PCI certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I migrate from Stripe to Daevon without interruptions?
Yes. The technical team handles the entire migration: mapping payment flows, integrating the API, and assisting go-live. Your end customers won't notice any interruption.
Are IC++ fees really lower than Stripe's?
Yes. By separating bank interchange from markup, the IC++ model avoids the markup hidden in Stripe's flat rate (1.5%). For most local merchants, savings range from 40% to 60%.
Does Daevon handle e-invoicing like Stripe?
It handles it better: Stripe doesn't invoice to SDI/AdE, while Daevon automatically generates and sends every invoice to the Revenue Agency, with no external software needed.
Does Daevon support international payments like Stripe?
Yes. Visa, Mastercard, and AMEX remain supported alongside major local European methods, with settlement in euros straight to your local IBAN.
