Receive Payments
The project is complete. Now make payment possible.
Your registered African consultancy has delivered for a US or international client. Let them pay by card without asking you to set up a US legal entity.
An invoice should not become another project.
You win the work, deliver the advice and send the invoice. Then the client asks for a familiar way to pay. Suddenly the conversation is about banking arrangements, not the value you delivered.
A cross-border wire can mean extra steps for their finance team and uncertainty for yours. Taking a card directly may require merchant arrangements you do not have. Each new explanation can delay a payment that should be the simplest part of closing the engagement.
The project stays open
The work may be finished while the invoice remains unresolved.
The client needs answers
Their finance team needs clear payment instructions, not a puzzle to solve.
Your focus gets pulled away
Time spent coordinating collection is time you cannot put into the next engagement.
Give the client a way to pay that they already know.
Share an Otority payment link. Your client pays by card through Stripe, and you see the funds in your Otority balance. You can keep the balance for later or move it to your local bank account, with no separate payout fee. There is no need for your consultancy to establish its own US legal entity just to collect this payment.
You did the hard part in the work. Collection should not be the project that follows.
