Payment Processing with Indiegraf: Options for your Region

While Stripe is our standard partner for many regions, we understand that accessibility varies across Latin America. This guide outlines our three-tier approach to getting your payments up and running.

🟢 Option 1: The Seamless Connection (Stripe)

If your country fully supports Stripe, you can take advantage of our most integrated experience: Indiegraf Pay.

• How it works: We provide a seamless connection between your website and Stripe.
• Benefits: You get more control over your "Support Us" pages, custom pricing options, and the ability to use specialized Pricing Table blocks.
• Availability: Currently, this is our standard setup for publishers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

🟡 Option 2: The National Alternative (PayPal)

If Stripe isn't available in your country, but PayPal is supported as a national processor, we use a flexible "widget" approach.

• How it works: You will create a payment widget or "Donate" button directly within your PayPal Business account.
• Implementation: You provide us with the embed code or payment link, and we place it on your site. It will look and feel like a native part of your checkout experience.
• Your Responsibility: As the publisher, you will be responsible for creating the specific payment plans (monthly, yearly, or one-time) within PayPal and sharing that code with our team.

🟠 Option 3: Custom Solutions for Other Regions

If neither Stripe nor PayPal is an option in your country, don't worry. We work closely with our partners at SembraMedia to find the best local alternative for your specific market.

When we evaluate a new tool for your region, we look for these "Must-Haves" to ensure your newsroom can grow:

• One-time & Recurring Payments: The ability to accept both single donations and monthly/yearly subscriptions.
• No-Code Dashboard: A platform that lets you create payment links directly in a dashboard without needing to write code or use complex APIs.
• Self-Hosted Checkout: An "out-of-the-box" checkout page that requires minimal technical configuration.
• Growth Integration (Zapier): The tool must be able to connect to Zapier (or use webhooks) so we can automatically sync your new supporters' emails to your Indie Email lists.
