SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coastal Pay today announced the launch of its innovative payment gateway platform designed to eliminate processing costs for merchants while delivering enterprise-grade functionality at every tier. The Coastal Pay Gateway is engineered for businesses seeking a smarter, cost-efficient way to manage transactions — with zero monthly fees and zero transaction fees.

“We built Coastal Pay Gateway to solve a real pain point: merchants are tired of paying fees on every dollar they earn,” said a spokesperson for Coastal Pay. “Our platform gives businesses the tools to grow without the financial drag of traditional payment processors.”

Zero-Cost Processing for Merchants

At the core of Coastal Pay Gateway is a commitment to eliminating the financial burden that payment processing places on businesses. Through compliant surcharging and dual pricing strategies, merchants can pass processing costs to cardholders — fully within card network rules — or leverage interchange optimization to minimize costs at the network level.

Key features of the Coastal Pay Gateway platform include:

• No-Cost Gateway: Zero monthly fees and zero transaction fees — merchants keep more of every sale.
• Interchange Optimization: Smart routing and data enrichment to qualify transactions at the lowest possible Visa and Mastercard interchange rates.
• Compliant Surcharging & Dual Pricing: Split-funding-compliant surcharging and dual pricing programs that meet all card network and regulatory requirements.
• Payouts & QR Code Payments: Flexible payout options paired with QR code payment acceptance for modern, contactless commerce.
• Text & Email Invoicing: Send professional invoices directly to customers via SMS or email for fast, frictionless payment collection.
• Customer Vault & Recurring Billing: Securely store customer card data for subscription management, repeat billing, and one-click checkout experiences.
• Hosted Payment Page: A fully customizable, PCI-compliant hosted payment page ready to accept payments immediately.
• White Label Ready: Full white-label support so partners and ISOs can deploy the gateway under their own brand.
• Instant Payouts (Coming Q1): Real-time payout capabilities launching in Q1, enabling merchants to access funds the moment a transaction clears.
