Gwinn vs Stripe: A developer-first payments platform. Stripe powers checkout for a large share of the web, and Gwinn itself settles payments through Stripe Connect — your customers pay into your own Stripe account. Gwinn vs SumUp: A well-established mobile card-payment company for small merchants and market traders. It offers cheap readers, Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android, a genuinely capable POS app with an item catalogue and stock tracking, and a basic online store. Its European merchants contract with SumUp Limited in Dublin, an EU-regulated e-money institution. Gwinn vs Shopify: The best-known hosted e-commerce platform, with its own point-of-sale app alongside the online store. Built for retail businesses that grow into staff, warehouses and multi-channel fulfilment. Gwinn vs Worldline: A large French payments processor that absorbed SIX Payment Services in 2018 and became the incumbent for Swiss card terminals. It offers in-store terminals, Tap on Mobile on an ordinary phone, and the Saferpay online gateway — and it supports the full Swiss payment mix, PostFinance Pay included. Your catalogue and TWINT on one screen — traditionally: One or the other: a POS app that can't take TWINT, or a TWINT app with no catalogue in it; with Gwinn: Both, on one screen — tap the photo, then choose TWINT, card or cash. What a sale costs — traditionally: Their rate, all in — and at a stall, every one of them beats ours on cards; with Gwinn: Your processor's rate, plus 0% from us in person and 1% online on Free — so take TWINT, which is on the same screen. Building the store — traditionally: A developer, weeks in a builder, or no online store at all; with Gwinn: AI drafts, writes and photographs it in an afternoon. Inventory — traditionally: Rigid grids you maintain by hand; with Gwinn: Scan your notebook; the AI keeps it. Pricing — traditionally: A monthly fee, a higher per-sale rate, or a negotiated contract; with Gwinn: Free in person. 1% online, or flat CHF 25. Your money — traditionally: Held, then paid out; with Gwinn: Straight into your own Stripe. Where your data lives — traditionally: Whichever cloud regions they use — check their sub-processor list; with Gwinn: Europe, mostly Germany — servers we rent from Hetzner.
