FAQs

All your fleet questions, answered in one place

Which payment methods does Astra support?

Astra supports a wide range of bank and card payment “rails” included within simple, flexible solutions for your use case. Currently, Astra facilitates Visa Direct, Mastercard Send, ACH, RTP, and FedNow.

How does Astra differ from a payments gateway?

A traditional payments gateway will only relay transaction messaging and typically only for one payment type, leaving you to build most of the security, operations, and orchestration yourself. As a platform, Astra provides the technology and tooling you need out of the box.

What is the pricing model for the Astra API?

The Astra platform leverages transparent “cost plus” usage-based pricing of our API and payment capabilities. For more information on rates for your program, please contact sales.
