Israeli Payment Gateway Picker
Pick your platform and what you need — Bit, recurring billing, installments, invoices — and see which Israeli gateways fit, each claim linked to its source.
An Israeli online store pays for card payments in two places: the gateway the site connects to, and the clearing fee, which is negotiated with the acquirer — Isracard, Max or CAL. Most providers quote per business, so the useful question is not “who is cheapest” but “who supports what I need, on my platform”.
This picker answers that from the providers’ own pages. Choose your platform and what you need; each result shows why it fits, what is not confirmed yet, and what to ask before you sign. Nothing is sent anywhere — it runs in your browser.

Gateways that fit
9 providers confirm everything you picked.
At small volumes the fixed monthly fees and extras (3D Secure, documents, platform surcharges) usually cost more than the difference between two clearing rates — so providers with a published price are listed first.
Grow (formerly Meshulam)
All-in (clearing included)Sells clearing as one bundle with a published price: one contract, no separate acquirer agreement.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — Grow’s own WordPress plugin (one-time fee)
Price
Published: Grow — 0.75% per transaction plus ₪59 a month (annual) or ₪69 (monthly); Grow Light — 1% plus ₪29 a month (annual). Before VAT. Extras: 3D Secure ₪2.50 a transaction, payments through Shopify +0.6%, tourist cards 3.5%, WordPress plugin ₪299 one-time.
Watch out
- Money is available from the 1st of the following month — if you pay suppliers weekly, that matters more than the percentage.
- On Shopify, Grow adds 0.6% on top of Shopify’s own third-party fee.
iCredit (Rivhit)
GatewayRivhit’s clearing product — one of the few that publishes a price list, with invoices built in.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — iCredit’s own WooCommerce plugin
Price
Published: setup ₪99 (₪150 through the card companies) and monthly packages from ₪69, before VAT. No per-transaction rate is published — the clearing fee is with your acquirer.
Watch out
- Not on Shopify’s Israel list.
- The WooCommerce plugin is iCredit’s own — it is not on WordPress.org.
iCount
Invoicing + clearingInvoicing software with its own clearing terminal; on Shopify’s Israel list and with a WooCommerce plugin.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — plugin on WordPress.org
Price
Published: terminal setup ₪199 before VAT and ₪30 a month; Apple Pay / Google Pay ₪30 setup and ₪10 a month; a Shopify or WooCommerce connection ₪20 a month. iCount says it takes no commission of its own — the clearing fee is what you agree with the card company.
Watch out
- It is invoicing software first: clearing runs through your own agreement with a card company.
Tranzila
GatewayOne of the oldest Israeli gateways and, since 2017, also a licensed acquirer — so both parts of the fee can be negotiated with one company.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — Tranzila’s own WooCommerce plugin
Price
Quote-based. Tranzila publishes no price list for website terminals, and the clearing fee is negotiated.
Watch out
- The WooCommerce plugin is Tranzila’s own — it is not on WordPress.org.
- When you get paid depends on your agreement; the Express route pays weekly or monthly.
Cardcom
GatewayA gateway with the most-installed Israeli WooCommerce plugin on WordPress.org; clearing runs through your own agreement with an acquirer.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — official plugin on WordPress.org
Price
Quote-based. The clearing fee is a separate agreement with your acquirer.
Watch out
- Cardcom says it has a Shopify app, but it was not on Shopify’s Israel list in September 2026.
Hyp (Yaad Sarig)
GatewayThe company behind Yaad Sarig; on Shopify’s Israel list and with an official WooCommerce plugin.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — official plugin on WordPress.org
Price
Quote-based for clearing: setup and clearing fees are priced separately.
Watch out
- Charging a foreign card in its own currency needs a permission from the card company.
PayPlus
GatewayA gateway on Shopify’s Israel list with an official WooCommerce plugin, its own invoicing product and payment links.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — official plugin on WordPress.org
Price
Quote-based.
Watch out
- Installments and currency are documented in the API reference, not on the product pages — confirm them for your plugin setup.
Pelecard
GatewayA veteran gateway with an official WooCommerce plugin, digital wallets and standing orders; quote-based.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — official plugin on WordPress.org
Price
Quote-based.
Watch out
- Not on Shopify’s Israel list.
- Invoices come through a third-party integration (Green Invoice), not a built-in product.
PayPal
Add-on, not a replacementWorks for Israeli businesses and suits buyers abroad — useful as an extra button, expensive as your only option.
Why it fits
- Confirmed: WooCommerce — WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin on WordPress.org
Price
Published: 3.40% + ₪1.20 per domestic transaction before VAT; international payments add 1% (US, Canada, Europe) or 2% (elsewhere); currency conversion 2.5%.
Watch out
- Add it next to a local gateway for buyers abroad — not instead of one.
Before you sign — ask every provider
- Ask for the terminal fee and the clearing rate as two separate numbers, in writing.
- Ask what 3D Secure costs, separately.
- Ask when the money reaches your bank account — weekly, monthly, or from the 1st of the next month.
- Compare the total monthly cost at your real volume, not the percentage alone.
- Selling subscriptions? Ask how failed renewals are retried, how card tokens are stored, and whether they can move with you if you switch.
- Ask your accountant which document format they need before you choose.
- Ask who maintains the WooCommerce plugin and how quickly it is updated after a WooCommerce release.

Common questions
Which payment gateway is best for a small Israeli online store?
There is no single best one — start from your platform and your cash flow. At small volumes the fixed monthly fees usually matter more than the clearing rate, which is why a provider with a published all-in price, like Grow, is popular with small stores. The trade-off is payout timing: with Grow the money is available from the 1st of the following month.
Which Israeli payment gateways work with Shopify?
Only the providers on Shopify’s own list for Israel: Grow, Hyp, PayPlus, Tranzila PayTech and iCount, plus PayPal. Shopify Payments is not available in Israel, so every sale also carries Shopify’s third-party fee — 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced. Cardcom was not on the list in September 2026.
What is the difference between a gateway fee and a clearing fee?
The gateway is the terminal your store talks to; it charges its own setup and monthly fees. The clearing fee on every transaction is charged by the acquirer — Isracard, Max or CAL, and also Tranzila, which holds its own acquirer licence — and it is negotiated per business. Grow is the exception: it sells both as one bundle with a published price.
Can I use Stripe in Israel?
Not with an Israeli business — Israel is not on Stripe’s list of supported countries. Use a local gateway, and add PayPal if you sell abroad.
