Companies like PayPal for a business taking international payments
September 24, 2026

A sale to a customer in another country often costs more than the same sale at home. Some card-and-wallet processors add an international surcharge to the domestic rate, and PayPal lists one on its US merchant fee schedule. This guide looks at companies like PayPal for a business that sells across borders and wants a way to get paid that does not depend on a card. It covers stablecoin or crypto payments, because EukaPay does not process cards.
For international sales paid in stablecoins or crypto, EukaPay is the alternative we recommend. Your customer pays from a wallet, and EukaPay settles the payment to your bank in USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD. The table below also covers PayPal, Stripe, and Wise Business. The three criteria are what your customer pays with, what you pay on a payment from another country, and where the money lands.
In this guide, you'll learn:
Which three questions to ask of any company like PayPal before an international launch
How EukaPay, PayPal, Stripe, and Wise Business compare on cross-border payments
When a card-and-wallet processor still belongs in your checkout
How EukaPay takes payments, sends payouts, and settles to your bank from one account
What to check in companies like PayPal before you sell internationally
EukaPay covers payment and settlement from a single account. Run these three checks on any provider you shortlist.
Payment method - what your customer pays with
A card-and-wallet processor asks the customer to pay with a card, a wallet balance, or a local method the processor supports in that market. EukaPay asks the customer to pay in stablecoins or crypto, from a wallet that holds them. Pay-ins support most major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL, USDC, and USDT. A customer outside your acquirer's footprint can often pay this way when a card payment would fail.
Cross-border fee - what an international payment adds to the price
Card-and-wallet processors often price a foreign payment as a domestic payment plus a surcharge, and some add a further charge when currency conversion is needed. EukaPay pricing is agreed with the EukaPay team during onboarding.
Settlement - where the money lands and in which currency
The last check is where your revenue ends up. With EukaPay, you choose fiat or crypto settlement. Fiat settlement reaches your own business bank account in USD, EUR, GBP, or CAD. Our comparison of
crypto payment gateways that settle in your local currency
covers that step in more detail.

EukaPay covers payment and settlement from one account, and the first row is where the international case is decided. PayPal adds a percentage to its domestic rate on international payments, and Stripe does the same for international cards. Stripe also lists a stablecoin rate, and Wise Business receives bank transfers through account details in 22 currencies. With EukaPay, a customer in another market can pay in stablecoins or crypto, and the money reaches your bank in the currency you choose. Our guide to
choosing a crypto for cross-border payments
covers which asset to accept first.
Do you still need PayPal once you accept crypto payments?
EukaPay adds a payment method rather than asking you to remove one. A business can keep a card-and-wallet processor for domestic customers who pay by card, and add a crypto payment gateway for international payments.
That split can work well for three kinds of sale. The first is a large invoice to an overseas buyer, where a percentage fee adds up. EukaPay
sends the buyer an invoice with a payment link embedded. The second is a digital sale to a customer whose card may not complete a cross-border purchase. A
can be shared in an email or a chat, and the payer completes the transfer on a hosted page. The third is a repeat customer who already holds stablecoins and would rather pay with them.

One platform for deposits, payouts, and fiat settlement
EukaPay runs the whole flow on one platform: instant crypto-to-fiat conversion at a locked exchange rate to remove your exposure to crypto price swings, support for most major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL, USDC, and USDT, and settlement in USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD to your bank account. A crypto payment confirms on-chain, so protection against chargebacks is a property of the payment method. EukaPay locks the exchange rate on every conversion by default, on pay-ins and on payouts.
