Accept SSLCommerz
without building the integration
SSLCommerz is Bangladesh's largest payment gateway, used by well over ten thousand businesses. Its importance is the mobile financial services it aggregates — bKash, Nagad, Rocket — which carry far more Bangladeshi consumer volume than cards do.

SSLCommerz fees and pricing
Two separate bills, and only one of them exists.
- What PaymentHood charges
- Nothing on your SSLCommerz transactions. No percentage and no per-transaction cut, at any volume. Every payment feature is free, and the optional Premium plan only adds white-label checkout branding.
- What SSLCommerz charges
- SSLCommerz sets its own rates and bills you directly. PaymentHood never sits between you and that invoice, so switching to or from SSLCommerz changes what you pay SSLCommerz and nothing else.
- What moves the rate
- Payment providers price per market and per method rather than as a single global figure. It settles in BDT, USD, EUR, GBP, SGD, INR, MYR, and cross-currency transactions are not priced the same as domestic ones. It also accepts 3 different payment methods, and card, transfer and wallet rails each carry their own cost.
- Where to check the figure
- SSLCommerz publishes current rates on their pricing page (opens in new tab). That is the authority, not this page. We deliberately quote no numbers here, because a rate that has quietly changed is worse than no rate at all.
How PaymentHood works with SSLCommerz
A direct SSLCommerz integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- Store ID and store password, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Webhook security
- Instant Payment Notification with signature validation before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction validation against the SSLCommerz API before fulfilment
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when SSLCommerz is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across SSLCommerz and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
