Question

Payment systems

Good afternoon

How can I receive payments from cards and Paypal in foreign currency to my Russian account if I launch a small (hopefully so far) online service?
There is an individual entrepreneur, but an individual is
preferred just saw Stocks in the name of the site and decided to play it safe)

I'm thinking of connecting paypal directly, but all the stories about "sudden blocking of all funds" confuse me. If I provide documents for individual entrepreneurs, passport data as transparently as possible, how likely is the blocking of funds? Assuming my online business is just SaaS, am I not even selling any content?

Answer 1

you register as a self-employed individual in the status of an individual entrepreneur (an individual entrepreneur on NAP) - in order not to pay regular contributions and not to submit a declaration, but at the same time have access to bank acquiring.
In Russia, only Alfabank provides Internet acquiring with debiting in foreign currencies (30+ currencies are available, including USD).
Paypal accepts payments even to an individual account - it will be an alternative payment method.
If you really have SaaS, it's strange that you didn't pass Paddle moderation, because this service is for selling software.
