Processing payments outside the US
Hi fellow IndieHackers.
I've got some projects I want to monetize and see how well I can do, but I'm having a hard time seeing how can I get people to pay for them.
Stripe is the best solution for this but I'm from Argentina and sadly it's not available here.
For one-off products, I could get Paypal to work but I'm in the dark for a subscription model.
So far I've been monetizing only with AdSense but I really want to try SELLING my products.
What payment processors are you currently using for your products?
And where country are you from?
Thanks in advance!
paddle.com is what worked for me over the years.
Hi Facundo, try https://www.cheqqly.com . We help startups with customers in the US and EU receive payments easily.
Startups where Stripe is unsupported either have to register an LLC/Corp in the US which is to expensive.
We help companies sidestep all that and focus on their products instead.
You can reach out at gilbertmpanga@cheqqly.com or we chat here
Hey Facundo!
I had gone through something similar, so I know what pain it is. To get it done, you’d need to get an entity that’s in the jurisdiction with the needed infrastructure. It might be an LLC/LLP/LP/Corp/whatever in US/UK/EU. You need to choose the one that makes the most sense for you and your country so that it’s tax and cost effective. It varies a lot. You’d need to talk to a professional or do a deep research yourself.
Oh, yea, there’s a gumroad.com and paddle.com that might work for you.
I think paddle.com or fastspring.com might work for you but their fees are higher or maybe look into 2checkout but I have no personal experience with either of them. (Though I'm working with integrating paddle for my side project).
P.s: I'm located out of US/EU so stripe isn't an option for me.
