    Razorpay is ok , and are alternatives for use only in India .
    But here's what nobody mentions: regardless of processor, you'll hit payment
    failures regularly. Cards decline, mandates fail, timeouts happen.
    But you can use Mollie which is Europe businesses which is good for Simple payment integration, local European methods, Good for small businesses, startups, and SaaS companies,
    Accept:
    Credit/debit cards
    Bank transfers
    Digital wallets
    Local European payment methods (like iDEAL, Bancontact, etc.)

    Paddle.com is quite good, using it on Serpentine.io. Takes care of invoices, payment method updates and abandoned carts. Cons: no decent SDK and relatively high fee (5%+0,5$). Also looking into Mollie.

    Razorypay (https://razorpay.com) is the Stripe for India. They were a customer of a product I founded years ago. They went through Y Combinator in 2015. I can't say much about pros and cons as I have never used them, but I've heard great things.

    After a bit of investigation, Paddle seems to be the best option for a collecting money in USD.

    Razorpay supports only INR for subscriptions.

    Thanks for the response IH! RazorPay and Mollie look like good options.

    You can take a look at Instamojo.

    We're using 2checkout for draftss.com which kind of gets the job done.

    You can also check out Paddle. We would love to use this but they do not support design services.
