Ask HN: Best Payment Solutions for Freelancers in Developing Countries?
The problem: Many freelancers struggle with payment systems that are either unavailable in their country, too complex, or charge high fees. Traditional banking and PayPal solutions often have delays, and explaining crypto to clients can be a hassle.
Our approach: We’re developing a tool where freelancers can generate a unique payment link. Clients can pay via credit cards, Apple Pay, or bank transfers, and the freelancer receives payment in stablecoins directly to their crypto wallet. From the client’s perspective, it’s just like making a regular card or bank payment—they don’t even need to know they’re using crypto.
Why this matters: - Freelancers don’t need to set up complicated legal or banking structures. - Payments are fast and stable (no waiting for international transfers).
We’d love to get your feedback: 1. Have you seen similar solutions in action? What worked or didn’t? 2. Would this be helpful for freelancers you’ve worked with or know of?
We’re still iterating and want to ensure we’re solving a real pain point. Appreciate any thoughts, ideas, or feedback!
