Nothing is urgent… until your payment processor freezes funds, blocks a country, or stops a payment method. Add a second rail before revenue becomes an emergency.

⁉️What do you lose by adding a second payment rail? Nothing. What do you lose by giving 100% control to one processor? Revenue. Customers. Markets. Sleep. One freeze, one restriction, one policy change… and your “business model” becomes a support ticket. #SaaS #Payments #Stripe #CryptoPayments #Web3 #BuildInPublic #Startups

@alikashifmr @artemiydesign @dubdotco @contra If Stripe isn’t available in your country, don’t wait for permission to sell globally. Add a USDC payment rail and start accepting subscriptions directly.

@artemiydesign @dubdotco @contra using contra is the best option for me cause stripe is not available in my country too!

Stripe isn’t available in my country, so no @dubdotco payouts (affiliate payouts). Support suggested setting up an LLC abroad. So I’m considering selling templates via platforms like @contra (with USDC) or Lemon Squeezy (with PayPal). Just want to confirm: – what’s the easiest option here? – and am I right that this option is still available to me, fully independent from Framer/Dub? Any advice would really help 🙌

✅ Done 💳 Made an auto-dispute response system for Interior AI to see how easy it'd be It syncs old disputes but also catches new disputes via Stripe webhook and then auto submits evidence to try win them, it even includes the interior designs they generated in the evidence PDF to prove they used it! Here's the prompt/skill I made: ---- Build an auto-dispute-response system for Stripe that: 1. Shared evidence collection (app/dispute_evidence.php) Create a shared file with functions used by both the webhook and sync worker. This avoids duplicating evidence logic. Key functions: - getDisputeUserPlan($user, $stripe) — pulls the user's subscription plan from Stripe API (source of truth, since local DB plan field gets cleared on cancellation). Falls back to local DB fields if Stripe call fails. Maps product IDs to plan names and includes price/interval and canceled status. - collectDisputeEvidence($stripe, $user, $email, $charge, $photosDb) — collects all text and file evidence, returns an array ready to submit to Stripe. - generateServiceDocPdf($stripe, $user, $email, $photos_done, $recent_photos, $total_amount_paid) — generates a PDF with customer info, usage summary, recent activity table, and up to 6 actual product images (resized to JPEG at 500px wide / quality 75 to stay under Stripe's 5MB file upload limit). Returns both the Stripe file ID and raw PDF data. Important: pull total_amount_paid from Stripe charges API (sum of succeeded, non-refunded charges) instead of trusting the local DB which can be null/stale. 2. Webhook handler (in stripe_webhook.php) Catch `charge.dispute.created` events. When a dispute comes in: - Get the dispute, charge, and customer objects from Stripe - Look up the user in the local database by stripe_customer_id - Save the dispute to a `disputes` SQLite database (fields: dispute_id, charge_id, payment_intent_id, stripe_customer_id, user_id, email, amount, currency, reason, status, epoch_created, epoch_evidence_submitted, evidence_json, stripe_response, epoch_resolved, outcome) - Call collectDisputeEvidence() to collect all evidence (text + file uploads) - Submit evidence to Stripe via $stripe->disputes->update($dispute_id, ['evidence' => $evidence]) - Send a Telegram notification that a new dispute came in and evidence was auto-submitted Also catch `charge.dispute.updated` and `charge.dispute.closed` events to track dispute outcomes (won/lost) in the database and send Telegram notifications with the result (with emoji: checkmark for won, x for lost, warning for other). 3. Evidence fields submitted to Stripe TEXT fields (write strings directly): - product_description — describe what the product/service is - customer_name — from Stripe customer object - customer_email_address — from Stripe customer object - access_activity_log — detailed usage log: signup date, number of items/actions done, last active date, subscription plan (from Stripe), platform, total amount paid (from Stripe), recent activity with timestamps - uncategorized_text — the "why we should win" argument: customer signed up on X, actively used the service doing Y things, total amount paid, service was delivered digitally/instantly, customer never contacted us for a refund before disputing - refund_policy_disclosure — when the refund policy was presented (during checkout, always accessible at /legal) - cancellation_policy_disclosure — when cancellation policy was shown (during checkout, accessible at /legal, can cancel anytime from dashboard) - refund_refusal_explanation — customer didn't contact us for a refund before filing the dispute - cancellation_rebuttal — proof customer actively used the service and never requested cancellation - service_date — date of the charge (Y-m-d format) FILE UPLOAD fields (upload file to Stripe first via $stripe->files->create(['purpose'=>'dispute_evidence', 'file'=>fopen($path,'r')]), then pass the returned file_xxxxx ID): - receipt — pull the invoice PDF directly from Stripe ($stripe->invoices->retrieve($charge->invoice)->invoice_pdf gives a ready-made PDF URL, just download it and upload as dispute evidence) - service_documentation — generate a PDF containing: customer info section, service usage summary, recent activity table, and up to 6 actual product images/screenshots the customer received. Resize images before embedding (500px wide, JPEG quality 75) to stay under Stripe's 5MB file upload limit. Also save both PDFs to your file storage (e.g. Cloudflare R2, S3) with hashed filenames so they're not guessable but viewable from the admin dashboard. Store the storage URLs in the evidence_json as _receipt_r2_url and _service_doc_r2_url (underscore prefix so they're easy to identify as internal fields). DO NOT use these fields for text — they expect file upload IDs only: service_documentation, cancellation_policy, refund_policy, customer_communication, customer_signature, receipt, shipping_documentation, duplicate_charge_documentation, uncategorized_file 4. CLI sync worker (workers/syncDisputes.php) A script that pulls ALL existing disputes from Stripe's API (paginated with $stripe->disputes->all(['limit' => 100]) and starting_after for pagination), saves them to the local disputes database, and for any that still have needs_response or warning_needs_response status and haven't had evidence submitted yet — auto-submits evidence using the shared collectDisputeEvidence() function. This is needed because the webhook only catches future disputes, not existing ones. Too heavy to run on frontend — run via CLI only (php workers/syncDisputes.php). Saves a JSON cache file with sync results so the dashboard can show last sync time. 5. Mini dashboard (disputes.php with ?key= auth) A simple HTML page protected by ?key= query parameter that shows: - Stats boxes: total disputes, pending, won, lost, disputed last 30 days (amount + count), disputed last 12 months (amount + count), total $ disputed - A note showing the CLI sync command and last sync time from cache - A test form where you enter a stripe_customer_id to preview what evidence would be submitted (without actually submitting) — useful for debugging - A table of all disputes: date, email, amount, reason, status (color-coded badges), evidence submission status, links to both detail view and Stripe dashboard Detail view (action=view&id=dispute_id): - Shows all dispute info, link to Stripe, and a "Regenerate Evidence" button - Shows PDF file links (receipt + service documentation) if available - Shows Stripe file upload IDs - Shows all text evidence fields Regenerate Evidence (action=regen&id=dispute_id): - Regenerates the receipt and service documentation PDFs and uploads to file storage - Updates the evidence_json in the database with new PDF URLs - IMPORTANT: Use fastcgi_finish_request() to send the HTTP response immediately (redirect back to detail page with "regenerating in background" notice), then continue generating PDFs in the background. This prevents frontend timeouts since downloading images and generating PDFs can take 30+ seconds. Add an nginx rewrite for the page (e.g. rewrite ^/disputes/?$ /disputes.php). Make sure it's in the correct nginx config file (check which one the symlink in sites-enabled actually points to). 6. Telegram notifications - New dispute: "{site name} - New dispute from {email} for ${amount} ({reason}). Evidence auto-submitted to Stripe. {stripe_dashboard_link}" - Evidence failed: "{site name} - New dispute from {email} for ${amount} ({reason}). Evidence submission FAILED: {error}" - Dispute won: "{site name} - Dispute WON (checkmark) for {email} - ${amount} ({reason}) {stripe_dashboard_link}" - Dispute lost: "{site name} - Dispute LOST (x) for {email} - ${amount} ({reason}) {stripe_dashboard_link}" - DB permission error: "{site name} - DISPUTE DB ERROR: {error} - check permissions on data/disputes.db" 7. Make sure these Stripe webhook events are enabled in the Stripe dashboard: - charge.dispute.created - charge.dispute.updated - charge.dispute.closed 8. Database permissions The disputes.db file must be writable by the web server user (e.g. www-data). If you create it from CLI as root, fix ownership to match your other DB files. PHP-FPM runs as a different user than root. 9. Dependencies - FPDF (setasign/fpdf) for PDF generation — install via composer require setasign/fpdf - GD extension for image resizing (usually already installed) - Stripe PHP SDK (already installed if you have Stripe webhooks) - AWS S3 SDK for R2/S3 uploads (already installed if using Cloudflare R2)

@arthurozi @remotemondays If Stripe isn’t available in your country, don’t wait for permission to sell globally. Add a USDC payment rail and start accepting subscriptions directly.

@remotemondays Also a pop up message saying “stripe not available in your country, use wise instead”

Todays space on X had some pretty major feedback. I got confirmation that some of you got paid by LEUL AI directly to your grey AND Raesnet account via stripe after following my instructions. That is to say, YOU DID YOUR HOMEWORK, and saw it to the end kudos. If you think just by signing up for a platform stops there, then you’re mistaken. I just went through the leul ai site, I can see three jobs available on the platform, open worldwide and anyone can do it. Read the instructions, follow the guideline, watch the YouTube video i provided on stripe and get started.

@Rhythm_Rvr @backyard_dj If Stripe isn’t available in your country, don’t wait for permission to sell globally. Add a USDC payment rail and start accepting subscriptions directly.

@backyard_dj Stripe is not available in Ghana. It cannot pay directly into a Ghanaian bank account. What people are seeing land in their accounts is coming through Paystack, which sits between Stripe and local banks.

@ruii__10 Bru, Stripe is not available in Peru ._.

For my fellow artists who don’t like paypal, i’ve switched to stripe like 3 years ago and never gone back, haven’t had any issues so far. I’d recommend you to look into it qwq

@UthmanOlaitan01 It’s better you use Stripe, Wise is currently not available in Nigeria. The issue you’re facing is likely from the setup. You probably selected “I’m a US citizen” instead of non-US during registration

Detailed roadmap

@DerricheNibel @nandikarlos @contra If Stripe isn’t available in your country, don’t wait for permission to sell globally. Add a USDC payment rail and start accepting subscriptions directly.

@contra products. Other services like Lemon squeezy requires stripe account and it's not available in my country so I'm using Contra and linking it to my payoneer account. I create a product page on Contra publish it then copy the checkout link and paste on the Framer component page.

Day 3 of #Framerchallenge - Submitted 2 components to Framer marketplace. Hopefully it get accepted. I read the review takes 7-14 days so let's see.  - Got my first Framer client project for a mental health clinician to migrate her website from Wix to Framer with a complete redesign. So excited for this! 🎉 (She's a past client I pitched her a Framer website and she agreed 😁)  - This week I will be laser focused on delivering the best website to this client.

@kats_jeri To get a Stripe account, you must sign up in a supported country or use a trusted person abroad if it’s not available in your country. In Uganda not yet supported but @KwikirizaNova and team are still engaging the relevant offices for it to be operational.

For those in uganda asking yourselves how do you get verified if you have a bank account please buy basic premium it's only 20k . Sometimes we fear to do things because we are not informed. Please for all those without blue ticks try it.

@khushiirl Do you know that stripe is also not available in India and only few of them could use it. It became so sad I couldn't just log into stripe.

Why does India not have a good payment infrastructure like Stripe for small SaaS and MVP level startups ???
