Investigate the case studies of cross-border payments in practice and their functional scenarios. Understand the ways businesses utilized payments solutions, optimized transactions, and lowered costs.
If you run a marketplace, your growth ceiling isn’t demand—it’s whether money movement keeps up without getting you in trouble. The moment you accept funds on behalf of others, you’re operating a sub-merchant model (directly as a PayFac/PSP or through one). Do it well and sellers get paid predictably, buyers stop opening disputes, and auditors … Read more
Selling digital goods should be the easy lane: no warehouses, no couriers, pure margin. In practice, money movement is the boss. If you promise “instant delivery” but hide behind cross-border cards, 3DS on every $4 top-up, and manual reviews, you’ll grow a support queue faster than revenue. Below is a field-tested stack that lets you … Read more
When you fundraise across borders, the hardest part isn’t the landing page—it’s the money trail. Donors want a one-minute checkout and a receipt that works for their taxes. Your finance team needs clean reconciliation, predictable FX, and documentation ready for audits. Field teams need funds in-country without wire roulette. Here’s a model that replaces heroic … Read more
Expanding into Central Asia looks straightforward on the revenue slide: healthy demand, growing modern trade, and a hunger for EU brands. The cash slide tells a different story—KZT and UZS accounts, currency-control paperwork, importer-distributor rebate cycles, returns, and a treasury team staring at spreadsheets. Here’s the operating model I’ve seen work when an EU distributor … Read more
Every few months someone asks me to “turn on BNPL for B2B exports.” Sounds simple: give buyers 30–60 days, pay suppliers today, keep a small spread. The hard part is everything in between—evidence that goods moved, FX that doesn’t eat your margin, collections without drama, and a risk model that scales beyond five friendly accounts. … Read more
If you run a SaaS marketplace, you’re not just shipping code—you’re clearing money for hundreds of developers with wildly different geographies, taxes, and payout preferences. The difference between a thriving ecosystem and a Slack full of angry threads is whether your money movement mirrors your commercial rules. Here’s the playbook that took a European SaaS … Read more
If you publish content at scale, “paying creators” becomes an operating system problem, not a spreadsheet problem. The money itself is simple; it’s everything around it—usage logs, split rules, tax forms, withholding, FX, statements—that gets messy. Below is a working blueprint I’ve used to take a European media network from “monthly scramble” to predictable, auditable … Read more
I get this question a lot: “Can we bill Indian customers in INR with UPI and still keep our EU books clean?” Yes—if you design it like an operating process, not a feature. Below is the pattern I use when an EU SaaS or digital goods vendor wants to localize payments in India without turning … Read more
I’ve learned the hard way that subscriptions in Latin America don’t fail because of product value; they fail at checkout, renewals, and refunds. Cards alone won’t carry you—especially on mid-ticket plans. In Brazil and Mexico the playbook is simple to say and nuanced to execute: collect on local rails first (PIX in BR, SPEI in … Read more
Trading steel, polymers, and chemicals online looks simple until a truck sits at the gate while finance chases a wire. In B2B marketplaces the cash risk is concentrated, margins are thin, and a single default can erase a month of P&L. The remedy is mechanical: escrow that mirrors trade milestones and automated splits that pay … Read more
