How can a freelancer accept payment from foreign customers?
When deciding whether to accept payment from a foreign customer, a freelancer must at least: select a payment method that will be available to both parties, select a service with an affordable commission and optimal conditions for withdrawing money. In the case of the payment method - the most affordable is the payment by card. Below are a few nuances when accepting card payments from customers from abroad in Ukraine, as well as our payment solution for freelancers.
Conversion
According to the legislation of Ukraine, payment is accepted only in hryvnias. Therefore, when transferring funds from a foreign card, you must take into account the rate at which the conversion takes place. Typically, the conversion when writing off funds occurs at the rate of payment systems. The course is dynamic and can change several times a day.
Conversion
Not all payment acceptance services work correctly with foreign payments, as a result, a part of payments from abroad can be rejected. Such “refusals” are due to the fact that, according to the anti-fraud policy, the payment partner simply rejects the suspicious payment in order to secure the client as much as possible. For those who regularly work with foreign partners, this service policy, of course, causes loss to the payee and causes a number of inconveniences to the payer.
