What Are Some International Payment Methods For Nigerian Digital Businesses? by NUJABEZ: 11:55pm On Apr 22, 2020
Hello house.

So today, I tried to license Adobe Creative Suite for work, but I found out that Nigeria is excluded from their offerings. They directed me to a local agent who quoted me an outrageous price for the license; Adobe sells the monthly license $99, but the Nigerian company effectively wanted to sell it for $155 per month.

For those who have gotten past this hurdle, what are you using?

Please, share it with us. Thank you.

Use a virtual card you can load with $. I think you should just choose US as your country and use a Mastercard anyway. The equivalent will be taken.

Have you tried any virtual card service? The option sounds interesting, but I don't know any trustworthy ones.

They have strict controls. You cannot use a card not issued in the locality you are in or the address that you are using. Also, they may revoke the license and seize all your work if they find out you skirted the safeguards.

Okay. Try Getbarter by Flutterwave for the virtual stuff or find a trusted exchanger here to pay for you

I will checkout Flutterwave. Due to the nature of my work, I can't have agents licensing anything. Thank you!
