If you have international payments enabled on your Paystack business, you will be able to receive payments from customers using a USD card. If you're not enabled, please see how to turn on international payments on Paystack.

Once international payment is turned on for your business, there are two ways you can go about receiving USD, depending on how you will be paid out.

Methods of receiving USD Payment

Received in USD and paid out in local currency

If you prefer to receive your payouts in your local currency, simply set the prices for your products or service in your local currency. When a customer with a card domiciled in USD (or any currency) makes a payment, their bank deducts the USD (or the currency of the card if not a USD-based card) equivalent of the amount from the customer. We then receive the exact amount in the local currency which we then pay to you.

This is available in all countries where Paystack operates. 

Received in USD and paid out in USD

Some countries have the ability to accept payments for their business in USD and be paid out in USD. 

What are the requirements for accepting payments in USD?

1. At the moment, this feature is only available to businesses in Nigeria so to get access to this, you will need to have an active business based in Nigeria.
2. To get your payouts for USD transactions you'll need a Zenith Bank USD domiciliary account. You can learn how to get a Zenith Bank domiciliary account here.
