PayForce vs Square in Hong Kong

In Hong Kong and the rest of Hong Kong the test is: can I charge tomorrow in HKD, is the dashboard usable without a platform team, what happens on a dispute? PayForce: minutes to go live, UI in this page’s language, flat refund/dispute fees. Square still fits other volume or stack profiles.

Settlement is Stripe Connect destination charges. We are the product, pricing and ops layer — not a mystery acquirer. If you leave Square over support, holds or complexity, open a PayForce account and migrate links at your pace.

This page is for Hong Kong. Amounts in HKD use the published FX table from EUR. Next step is free sign-up, not a mandatory sales call.

How collection actually works in Hong Kong. PayForce does not require a local acquirer contract or a courier-delivered POS. You create the account, verify the business on Stripe Connect and issue the first Payment Link or subscription. Funds move as a destination charge: the payment originates on the platform and transfers to your connected account, with the PayForce fee visible on the dashboard.

The plan table is public and comes from the real product config: Motor de arranque at HK$0/month with 5,00% + HK$4.20 on EU cards; Pro at HK$210/month with 3,90% + HK$3.36; Crecimiento at HK$1,008; Escala at HK$3,612. Being based in Hong Kong does not change Hong Kong pricing — FX on this page only translates EUR into HKD so the number is readable. Refunds and disputes are a flat amount, not a hidden percentage.

Checkout can live on your site, on a link, on a QR code or on the terminal. Apple Pay and Google Pay share the same payment session. SEPA applies in the euro area. Bizum when the merchant is in Spain. We do not advertise methods Stripe does not run in Hong Kong. The statement descriptor is configurable so the buyer recognises the brand and does not open a dispute out of confusion.

Support, API and webhooks are sized for a small team: you do not need a payments department. Docs at /developers, sign-up at /signup. When volume grows you change plan without migrating customers or rebuilding checkout. PayForce stays the same gateway in Hong Kong, with prices in HKD and operations centred on Hong Kong and the rest of the market.
