Ask HN: How do american companies pay small SaaS suppliers?
I am launching a B2B SaaS from Brazil (www.oneonemeeting.com, for managing one-on-one meetings).
I want to target companies from the USA. Currently, I use Stripe to charge using credit cards -- the charges are in Brazilian Real, as it is their only option offered at their Brazilian operation.
Currency aside, is this the best method for American companies to buy my service? Just entering a credit card number like any B2C or e-commerce site? Or is there a better way?
thanks, HN!
- cimmanom 8y agoYes. For small purchases (typically, under $1K), typically a department head will have a corporate credit card and budget authorization (or can get budget authorization and charge it to the card). Some but not all companies will require purchase orders for large purchases. The currency might be an issue, though - aside from not having any idea of what the cost would work out to in USD because they don’t know the exchange rate, credit cards often levy a currency conversion surcharge. At the very least, you should display an estimate of the cost in USD at current exchange rates and some sort of disclaimer that that’s an estimate and fees may apply yada yada.
- soneca 8y agoThanks! I already did that disclaimer, I imagined it might be an issue.
