Why Brazilian Traffic Is Pure Shit For International Programs
 

Hi folks,

After reading this thread: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1121022 I've decided to create a new one to answer Badmaash, and to clarify this once for all.

Here in Brazil we have credit / debit cards, but there's one big catch!

Most cards are VISA and Mastercard, but "Valid In Brazil Only". This statement is printed on the card. This card operates only with REAL (our currency).

Only people with a good and fat bank account can have what we call "International Credit Card". This international card operates in REAL, DOLLAR and sometimes EURO.

So, if you have brazilian traffic and you think it's pure shit, it is... but not for Brazilian Programs that operates natively (not converted from USD) with REAL. The only problem is that there's no Brazilian Programs :Oh crap

So, if you or the program you work for bill clients in any currency other than REAL using a merchant account from any country other than Brazil, most brazilians won't be able to pay. If they try, they will get a declined transaction message.

We have a billing system called PagSeguro. They do allow porn, but there's no software integrated with it.

I'm wondering how good something properly translated and working with a brazilian billing company like PagSeguro could sell...

Beyond all that, we have another payment method very popular called boleto. It's one bill with some numbers where people print and can pay almost everywhere.

Hello

So I am based in the UK

I dont mind processing offline payments

I am not sure if your country will let me have a bank account, what is the best way for a UK person to get wire transfers in Brazil?

I do not wANT Brazil people to wire me money to the UK as that will seem a bit stupid so I rather have something in Brazil which will also look better

Any ideas?

Thanks

BTW - the site will be for Brazil people....

I'm surprised no one has a solution for this, as Brazil is booming and their middle class is expanding rapidly.

Interesting info. It does make sense to try to bill and convert these nations because most of the growth in internet use is and has been among the tier 3 group. In many ways we are victims to the old times where no effort at all has been made to collect from countries like Brasil, China, and India.

Whats the name of the biller?

Sell shemales.

I used to have decent ccbill suscriptions from Brazil

Who U yoose?

Bump for a good program.

Do your homework -- it took me about 10 minutes to find them ...

Good answer. It never ceases to amaze me how so many people need everything spoon fed to them.
