Problem
Traditional payment processors charge a fixed percentage fee (typically 2.9%) on every transaction, which significantly erodes revenue for businesses that process large invoice volumes or high-value milestone payments. Additionally, payment providers may freeze funds for extended periods, creating cashflow uncertainty for service-based businesses that depend on predictable payment cycles.
Solution
Astrius offers a payment processing platform that eliminates per-transaction fees entirely, replacing them with a flat subscription model. Businesses receive invoice payments and milestone deposits with 0% transaction fees, allowing them to save up to 80% in processing costs. The platform supports customizable payment workflows including recurring invoices, contract-based milestone deposits, and accounting integrations. When a payment is submitted, an email containing a payment link is automatically sent to the client, who can pay in seconds without creating an account. Funds are released directly to the business's bank account within 1-2 days, and Astrius does not hold funds beyond what the user has allowed.
Target Audience
Primary customers are freelancers, agencies, and small-to-medium service businesses that process recurring invoices or contract-based milestone payments and want to reduce payment processing costs.
