Recommended alternatives to PayPal that work in South East Asia?

Can anyone recommend any alternatives to PayPal that work in South East Asia (specifically the Philippines)? Stripe does not work in a lot of countries not located in Western Europe or North America!

    Omise.co works in Japan, Thailand, and Singapore, not sure about Philippines. For Stripe, the only way to make it work regardless of the country your business locates.

    1. Signup at Transferwise.com - open your borderless account.

    2. Bring account details from TransferWise to be used on Stripe.

    The main disadvantages are many fees from different portals and money transfer timeframe. The advantages are there is no monthly fee charging you upfront on both gateways as far as I know and their dashboards are user friendly + pretty straightforward for implementation.

    in my projects,profitabilly.com i use paddle.com.

    They have 5% transaction fee.

    Did you have a look at paddle.com

      Paddle uses Stripe; so it won't be an option for the OP.
