    Thanks, useful, my opinion is to consider some more great payment options (like those you already listed) like ePayments and ePayServices, both are excellent just like Payoneer and Paxum.

    Just a note that some paypals pay 4.4 to 5% fee, I pay 4.4% for every incoming transaction, Transferwise is good too you should probably add it.

    • Victoria AdCombo (PR) 15.10.20 at 1:36 pm

      Yeah, there is a 2-5% fee depending on the country of a receiver.

      Why do you think Transferwise is good enough?
