Ask YC: Accepting Credit Cards as a Bahamian company
I'm building an e-commerce site for a Bahamian company and am having a hard time finding a solution to accepting payment via credit card. Any internationals (non-US/UK/Canada) doing this?
- mrtron 19y agoWe really need an Ask rms section :) He may know about this from his business experience.
- jkush 19y agoHave you looked at PayPal?
- gsiener 19y agoPayPal doesn't support receiving funds for the Bahamas. We could only send paypal funds...
- terpua 19y agoworldpay might work
- gsiener 19y agoTalked with Worldpay and it's not one of their supported countries.
- marcus 19y agoBuild an entirely owned subsidiary in a respectable place, the UK for example. And funnel the transactions through it. Had the same problem in a startup I built 5 years ago that was based in Costa Rica. The entire process should take no more than a couple of days.
- dcurtis 19y agoI'm fairly sure this is illegal in the UK. Can anyone confirm this?
- marcus 19y agoSo long as the parent company is not doing anything that is illegal under UK law, it is totally legal as far as I know or at least it was 5 years ago. What part of it do you think might be illegal? But then again, I am not a lawyer so please confirm with your legal staff.
