FAQs
Is Capricon Pay a PayHere alternative?
Capricon Pay pulls ahead when you're collecting across multiple subsidiaries or branches and drowning in parallel gateway spreadsheets—that's the specific problem it's built to solve. PayHere's strength stays being an established, widely-trusted single-merchant gateway with strong LankaQR/JustPay rails. Many organisations actually run PayHere underneath Capricon Pay rather than choosing one over the other.
Does Capricon Pay replace LankaQR?
No. LankaQR remains a payment rail. Capricon Pay helps match and operationalise collections—including QR/JustPay settlements—into finance workflows.
Does Capricon Pay replace my existing gateway entirely?
Usually no. Capricon Pay typically sits above a gateway like PayHere, consolidating payment links, settlements, and reconciliation across entities rather than replacing the underlying rail. Confirm during discovery whether your existing gateway stays in place or needs to change.
When should I stay with PayHere?
Stay with PayHere if you're a single merchant that only needs straightforward checkout, and its dashboard and LankaQR/JustPay rails already cover your reporting. Consider Capricon Pay when you collect across subsidiaries or branches and need one consolidated finance view with ERP reconciliation.
