Best option to accept international payment?

[whitebee]

I think in the future I'll go with Stripe. Transferwise's fee is ridiculous



If I'm selling a $5 service, I have to charge client extra $1.44. It's practically impossible to sell a cheap $1 service like I did with my premium asset downloader.

Stripe is much cheaper than paypal:



for $5 transaction, the fee is only $0.445. Paypal is around $0.52 because I'm in Indonesia (4.4% + $0.30)

To be honest, Paypal is good.. I mean best for international transactions... After paypal.. Stripe is a trusted King in the market

Bro I'm not based in Nigeria that's why am asking

I know and that's why I asked how it's gonna be possible. Cos you need to physically open a GTB account. And banking process here nowadays is no longer like before. A lot of measures now put in place to checkmate laundering.

So from the very first minute, you will need a BVN (maybe you Google what BVN in Nigeria is about), then you need a mobile number which requires that you have a NIN (maybe you should also Google what NIN in Nigeria is all about). Then you can begin the process of opening the account.

The best method would have been opening the account online or through your mobile phone but that was then. Not now anymore

Oh yes, how could I forget about them! Thanks for your input.

Btw, anyone here have experience with Transferwise.com? Their fees looks reasonable.

Transferwise.com is available worldwide.So for the poor countries, it is good to receive funds, I mean they allow to open international account whereas Paypal and stripe does not.

Ooh okay. Thanks for this breakdown. Means practically impossible.
