At B12 we partner with Stripe to allow clients to send and receive payments with out invoicing tool. Unfortunately, at this time, clients can only send and receive payments if they have a valid US based business address (you can learn more about payments in general here).
While non-US B12 users cannot currently use our invoicing tool, there are options for receiving payment via your B12 site:
1. E-commerce
Many B12 users who cannot utilize our invoicing tool (or prefer a direct purchase route) utilize 3rd party e-commerce website tools, including:
You can create a storefront on any of the above platforms and link to it directly on your B12 site either by using a single "buy here" or "shop" button or by creating a products section and linking to your storefront on each individual product.
2. Buy buttons
You may want to take payments for a service or other good that doesn't work in an E-commerce setting. In this case, you can utilize a buy button. Buy buttons can facilitate single payments and provide a shareable payment link, donations, and even smart subscriptions. There are a variety of platforms that can offer a buy button for you to link on your B12 site including:
3. Event registration and booking
Finally, you may want to add a sign-up for a paid event on your site. In this case, you can utilize a 3rd party booking software that offers payable events. In many cases, you can embed these calendars directly on your site or add a link to the booking page using a "Register here" button and section—here's an article on how to add Calendly specifically, but the process for embedding is essentially universal, if you ever encounter an error just email hello@b12.io for support.
Platforms that facilitate paid booking include:
