MenuHow do I accept international payments in my app?
I run a business which accepts payments in my local African country. It's done well with flows of over $100K and due to demand, I want to accept international payments. I registered the company in the U.S. from home, and I am currently based in the U.S on an F1 Visa (doing masters). I tried stripe but they asked for social security (which I don't have). Whats the best way to accept international (US, UK, Europe) payments for my company?

Thanks.

What are the convincing reasons to get about 50% of the total payment as an advance from a B2B customers for any cloud based offerings?
I would recommend invoicing for the full year up front. If anyone asks, tell them that this is industry standard. Salesforce, HubSpot and many others do it this way. If that answer isn't sufficient, here are some others reasons that are beneficial for the customer: - It simplifies the accounting for the customers - one invoice instead of 6-12 - If you were to buy packaged software, you would pay a huge up front fee and then annual maintenance - we are just asking for the first year - If you pay monthly, there is no commitment, so there is less incentive to get buy-in from the team and usersMichael AssadMA
