Unfortunately Stripe and Braintree isn't available where I live (South Africa), making accepting payments (subscriptions) in an international market a bit more difficult.
That basically leaves me with 2/3 options.
Use one of the few local Payment processor - but a huge drawback is that I cannot charge in foreign currencies (USD/GBP/EUR, etc). Obviously for a little 'startup', quoting in a relatively unknown currency (South African Rand) will highly impact conversions, so not an option for me.
There's Paddle. Which is super nice, but integrating it with something like React appears to be a hack-ish mess as it requires jQuery, so not ideal. Also their fees are almost double Stripe.
I think I can use PayPal.... I've heard some horror stories though, but willing to give it a shot.
Question is, do people still use Paypal?
Do you lose conversions when it comes to the redirecting the user to Paypal's credit card / login page?
Cheers
