7 points·rymngh··8 comments

I've a small project that needs to charge $0.99, and PayPal doesn't cut it because they only open micropayments merchant account for people in United States.

Does anyone know a micropayment solutions for people outside United States?

Check out http://www.youtipit.org (maybe even send them an email) - would you consider bitcoin? Could be good marketing angle as well, and if your micropayment system or framework is good enough, spin it off with your site being a test case.

I love to use bitcoin but it's too niche for my target audience.

Well you could take larger payments and give the change in bitcoin at a rate slightly higher than market.

You also can check out my company, https://www.minno.co/. We only support prices denominated in USD right now, but we accept payments from many different countries, and we can transfer your earnings to you via a standard PayPal transfer.

I dont't know if its possible with them, but did you try Moneybookers? Many poker rooms use them for receiving and paying payments to their players.

Does Minno work for you? Flattr has Donate now ... though they're paying a lot more than $0.99 by the time all is said and done.

You don't say where you are, but I've used a Paypal micropayments account in GB.

I live in Philippines, I have Philippines bank account.
