How to choose payment acceptance

Your business registration country matters before transaction fees. A provider accepting a customer’s card does not mean it can onboard your business locally.

Compare the payment methods your customers use, settlement currency and timing, refunds, disputes and any subscription or integration charges. Request a quote for your actual transaction mix.

Can I use any payment provider in Southeast Asia?

No. Merchant onboarding, payment methods and settlement vary by country and business type. A published country listing is a starting point, not account approval.

Can I take payments without building a website?

Payment links provide a hosted checkout that you can share. Verify available methods, fees and merchant eligibility for your country.
