The customers are broke because the quotes are in dollars, and the TSH is less valuable than USD. Which again another startup problem waiting to be solved.

The lack of credit card, is another problem that I have. Which is another startup problem waiting to be solved.

People pay if there is value in what you are offering.

Buying things with local quotations might be good for the scenario.
