PayU let us set up recurring donations quickly and the cost is reasonable for a small nonprofit. Support replies could be faster but we rarely need them.
Pros
Affordable, easy recurring donations
Cons
Support response times vary
Use case: Recurring donations for a nonprofit

FX and international fees could be clearer
Use case: Cross-border online apparel sales

Building split payments for our marketplace would have taken months elsewhere. With PayU the API and docs got us live in weeks. Webhooks are reliable.
Pros
Great API, split payments, webhooks
Cons
Some advanced features need a sales call
Use case: Split payments and payouts for a marketplace
