What does Airwallex cost at $10,000, $100,000, and $1 million a month?

The arithmetic below uses a $50 average ticket and successful charges only. It is not a quote for international cards or disputes.

Airwallex does not have a public standard rate in this dataset, so there is no dollar total at $10,000.00, $100,000.00, or $1,000,000.00.

Stripe at those volumes, on 2.9% + $0.30 and a $50 ticket, is $10,000.00 → $350.00 (200 × $0.30 + 2.9% of $10,000.00); $100,000.00 → $3,500.00 (2000 × $0.30 + 2.9% of $100,000.00); $1,000,000.00 → $35,000.00 (20000 × $0.30 + 2.9% of $1,000,000.00).

Where does Airwallex operate?

Coverage: Cross-border. Availability depends on the business's country. That is where Airwallex operates, not a list of industries it accepts.

Do not treat a processor logo as an industry approval. If the business is on Stripe's prohibited list, switching the logo does not make the card payment lawful. The restricted-business guide is the map of Stripe's own words.

How does Airwallex differ from Stripe?

Stripe is a payment service provider at 2.9% + $0.30 for US domestic cards, read November 9, 2026, and it can review an account after you have started processing. Airwallex is a payment service provider with the rate line See Airwallex and the dispute line See Airwallex.

Airwallex sells a quoted or subscription price rather than Stripe's public flat rate. A comparison that invents a percent would be false, so this page leaves the cell blank.

How do you switch from Stripe to Airwallex?

Stripe's data export page, read November 10, 2026, says Stripe transfers saved cards only to a PCI DSS Level 1 processor and does not export subscriptions or payment history. The switching guide covers what moves, what needs Stripe's approval, and how to keep subscriptions billing. Read it before you cancel the Stripe account.

Export Stripe customers, prices, and dispute history while the dashboard still allows it.
Ask Airwallex, in writing, whether it can receive a card transfer from Stripe. The switching guide names the providers whose own pages describe one.
Recreate plans and the next billing date. Run five real customers in a test mode, including one annual plan and one past-due plan.
Map webhooks and payout reconciliation before the cutover. Do not bill the same period on both systems.
If Stripe has already closed the account, plan for customers to enter cards again.

What usually goes wrong?

The dispute fee is the small line. The disputed amount and the card-network ratio are the ones that close accounts.

The other failure is comparing a different product, such as a merchant-of-record percent or a gateway monthly fee, to Stripe's card rate as if they were the same line.
