Dojo payments: who is behind it, which sectors and the RoxPay comparison
Dojo gained ground in the card-terminal market with free-loan hardware and pricing built on a quotation with a consultant. Anyone evaluating Dojo payments meets three questions: who is the company behind the brand (Paymentsense Ireland Ltd), which sectors the service is designed for and what changes for a merchant comparing providers against RoxPay's alternative (€0.15 + 0.35% to 0.85% (IC++)), with a public formula and the terminal included. This guide answers point by point, without repeating the technical part already covered in the dedicated Dojo POS guide.
Pricing structure: negotiated terms vs public formula
| Provider | Pricing model | Hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Dojo (Paymentsense) | Price on quote with a consultant, starting from 1.89% and a 5 euro/month fee | Dojo Go and Dojo Pocket on free loan |
| RoxPay | €0.15 + 0.35% to 0.85% (IC++) | Android POS included under the same contract |
The Dojo figures indicated (1.89% and a 5 euro/month fee) are the starting terms reported by trade sources in June 2026; the final plan depends on the negotiation.
Who is Dojo: Paymentsense and the quotation model
Behind the Dojo brand sits Paymentsense Ireland Ltd, the company that runs acquiring for physical merchants and hands over the terminals on free loan. The commercial model is quotation-based: there is no public front-end price list, the contract is built with a consultant based on declared volume and the business profile.
The starting terms reported by trade sources in June 2026 (finanzadigitale.com) include rates from 1.89% on card-present transactions and a monthly fee from 5 euro on the personalized plan. Non-EEA cards are treated separately: 0.95% plus a surcharge of 0.13 euro per single operation.
Free-loan hardware reduces the capital outlay compared with contracts where hardware is bought. The total cost nevertheless needs careful evaluation: a low fixed fee combined with a high percentage weighs on merchants who collect a lot every month, as the table simulation above shows.
Which sectors choose Dojo and how the service is activated
Dojo's audience is the sectors with continuous till traffic: salons and beauty centers, restaurants and bars with orders, pharmacies, studios and urban retail: merchants collecting several times a day with contained average tickets who need a mobile terminal. The two terminals point that way: Dojo Go, with integrated printer, for the till with receipt printing, and Dojo Pocket for mobile collection.
Activation goes through dialogue with a consultant: the merchant is asked expected volume, sector and transaction type, so the proposal can be formulated with the specific terms for non-EEA cards, the online channel and support. There is no automatic online quotation: to know the cost you must request the proposal.
The evaluation criterion remains total cost: with a rate starting at 1.89%, on 10,000 euro of monthly turnover the monthly cost approaches 200 euro. With RoxPay's pricing (€0.15 + 0.35% to 0.85% (IC++)), on the same volume and the same average ticket the indicative total stays at 65-115 euro, with every item visible on the statement.
Dojo vs RoxPay: when public pricing wins
Whoever evaluates Dojo usually has a physical store with continuous takings. The substantive difference is that Dojo builds personalized terms (you need a quote to know the price), while RoxPay makes the formula visible (€0.15 + 0.35% to 0.85% (IC++)) and includes the Android POS terminal in the same structure covering in-person and online.
The practical step is always the simulation on real volume, not the starting percentage: this is the logic of the [gateway comparison](/en/resources/payment-gateway-fees-comparison). Hardware remains a criterion of its own: with Dojo's free loan the outlay is zero, while RoxPay supplies the Android POS terminal within the same contract, with the IC++ pricing declared.
