Accept International Payments

Multi-Currency Processing

Multi-currency processing lets international customers pay in their local currency while you receive settlement in USD. This removes the friction of currency conversion for the customer and increases international conversion rates by 10% to 20%.

The exchange rate is locked at the time of the transaction, so you know exactly how much you will receive. Our partners provide competitive exchange rates with transparent markup, typically 1% to 2% above the mid-market rate.

Regional Payment Methods

Credit cards are not the dominant payment method in every market. In Europe, bank transfers (SEPA) and local card schemes (Cartes Bancaires, iDEAL) are common. In Asia, mobile wallets (Alipay, WeChat Pay) dominate. In Latin America, cash vouchers (Boleto, OXXO) are essential.

Our partner network supports credit cards, bank transfers, mobile wallets, and regional payment methods across 40+ countries. The more local payment methods you offer, the higher your international conversion rate.

Cross-Border Fees and Compliance

Cross-border transactions incur additional fees from the card networks, typically 0.4% to 1.0% on top of standard interchange. These fees are unavoidable but can be offset by the higher revenue from international sales.

Compliance requirements vary by country. GDPR governs data handling for European customers. PSD2 requires Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for European card payments. Our partners handle these compliance requirements through their payment gateway configuration.

Getting Started
