Where Brijee is different
Charging a saved card doesn't cost more
Square bills card-on-file and recurring payments at 3.5% + 15¢. On Brijee, a subscription or saved-card charge is 2.8% + 25¢ — the same as any other card payment.
Phone orders priced fairly
Key in a card a customer reads to you over the phone at 3.2% + 25¢. For payments over about $33, that beats Square's 3.5% + 15¢ — and the gap grows with the ticket.
Built for your own website
A one-line embed, buy buttons, pricing tables, hosted checkout, and a full API with webhooks — so payments live on your site, not a third-party store page.
A real person behind your payments
Brijee is run by a payments agent who answers. No ticket queues, no chatbot loops — email support that a person reads.
Where Square may fit better

- Apple Pay today — it's on our roadmap, but not live yet. Google Pay is live.
- Built-in extras like appointment booking or payroll from one vendor.
