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?

Which is the best payment model for a services marketplace?
There are several questions/pieces of information you would want to consider to know which avenue to go down (a few highlighted below): - which platform are you going to be on-boarding and connecting students/tutors thoughts? web, mobile, hybrid or brick & mortar (includes actual phone calls etc) - how often are disbursements of funds going to happen with a typical transaction period (say 1 month)? - what is your service fee/cut for the work completed? are you working on a %/commission basis or are you generating funds from clients in another way? - which party shoulders the service fee your charge? Is it just one party or both? - is the transaction always intending to be a 1 to 1 relationship (i.e. would a group of students be able to hire a tutor for an exam review session and split the costs etc?) those are just a few things that should be top of mind as you consider which ways and means you intend to collect/process payments for your service. I'd be happy to jump on a call and walk through these and other questions to help get you on the payment model/processor right for you.
