Payment options
My preferred method of payment is Payoneer. It saves me a lot of fees to get the money credited in my local currency and it is super easy to use!

Once it is time to send you an invoice, you will receive a payment request by email from Payoneer on my behalf, and it will give you the following payment options depending on your location:
- Credit/Debit Card (MasterCard®, Visa®, American Express®) WORLDWIDE
- ACH bank debit (electronic check) US ONLY
- PayPal account US ONLY
- Direct Bank Payment UK ONLY
- Payoneer Balance (for Payoneer account holders) WORLDWIDE
If the transaction has a fee, select the option to be paid by me.
If you are outside the US, ultimately, payment can also be made by PayPal, but it will have a 10% increase to cover all fees involved to get it credited in my local currency.
