Merchant account - bill in USD

[mitchmagi]

Hi all

Can any local merchant account service / payment gateway bill in USD or are you required to bill in ZAR ?

Besides PayPal - are there any such similar services which would allow you to bill a client in USD ?

Thanks

Yes they can unless otherwise agreed.

Its your own fault if you didn't anticipate FX movements. In this care USD is likely better though.

Can you recommend any merchant account providers that offer this feature ? My research shows they all bill in ZAR

Having thought about it a bit more...either I can launch into a long speech about forex exposure theory or you could just level with us and tell us what you want to do and why.

Taking a wild guess I'd say you don't really care about the currency but are more concerned with the image it portrays / potential reluctance on the customers part in paying in an unknown currency?
