Pros & Cons

sasono

Pros

  • Lets merchants reach customers who lack credit cards or bank accounts, without merchants having to run their own KYC/AML checks.
  • Multiple integration paths — direct API, WordPress/WooCommerce plugin, or hosted redirect checkout.
  • Prepaid, non-reversible codes protect merchants from chargebacks and card fraud.
  • Wide range of code denominations (about €5–€1,000) with a 12-month validity window.

Cons

  • Merchant fees and settlement commission are not publicly disclosed — they're shared only after an application is approved, making upfront cost comparison difficult.
  • Codes and settlement are primarily EUR-denominated, which can complicate accounting for merchants billing in other currencies.
  • As a less widely recognized payment brand, checkout conversion may lag better-known methods like cards or PayPal for unfamiliar shoppers.
  • End users above certain purchase thresholds must still complete KYC/AML verification, limiting the no-ID appeal for larger transactions.

krokedil

Pros

  • Deep bench of Nordic-specific payment and shipping integrations (Klarna, Qliro, Swedbank Pay, Nets/Nexi, and more) that aren't natively available in WooCommerce
  • Individual, single-purpose plugins let merchants install only the integrations they actually need
  • Established, long-running vendor with plugins distributed through the official WordPress plugin directory

Cons

  • Primarily useful for merchants selling into the Nordic/European region — less relevant for stores outside that market
  • Requires running WooCommerce/WordPress, so it's not a fit for merchants on other e-commerce platforms
  • Public pricing for premium support or paid add-ons is not disclosed on the marketing site
