Aloha! I am currently in the process of prototyping a technology idea with the goal of putting it out in the wild to validate product-market fit. I want to make sure it has the ability to be profitable from day one. If it goes well, my end goal would be incorporating in a tax-friendly jurisdiction and collecting payments from a solid finance hub (like Singapore), although in the beginning I'd like to go for a simpler solution in the early validation stage.

Question: What are some good ways of collecting global payments in the early stages of a start up before incurring the cost of setting up the "real" commercial structure?

Any pointers from experienced global entrepreneurs would be much appreciated.

PS: For context, I am not a US citizen/permanent resident so I am not subject to US taxes. I recently moved out of the US to pursue global entrepreneurship and will soon be free to reside anywhere I choose.

You're basically just asking how to accept payments from all over the world, right?

I think Stripe can accept payments in a bunch of currencies and from international cards.
PayPal can also be sent/received from all over.

I was going to answer the same way earlier, but I assumed it was too obvious and I was missing something.
