This page explains the payment gateways that BettaMax supports, the role of each gateway in the collection process, and how they connect with each other. Read this page before setting up any payment gateway to choose the right solution for your store.
Payment collection process on BettaMax #
Funds from international orders go through two steps before being transferred to your Vietnamese bank account. Understanding this process will help you set up your account correctly and avoid situations where funds are stuck or delayed.
- Customer payments via payment gateway (PayPal ACDC) — Money from international customers is transferred to your merchant account through the payment gateway integrated into BettaMax.
- Withdraw money to Vietnam via PingPong — From your merchant account, you transfer money to your PingPong account and then withdraw it to your domestic bank account.
PayPal ACDC: A gateway for receiving payments from customers. #
PayPal ACDC (Advanced Credit and Debit Card) is the primary payment gateway on BettaMax, allowing stores to accept international credit and debit card payments without requiring customers to have a PayPal account.
- Payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal.
- Suitable markets: US, UK, CA, and other international markets.
- Processing speed: Money is transferred to the merchant’s account within the day with BettaMax’s T+0 Pay mechanism.
- Transaction fees: Calculated as a percentage of each successful transaction. Contact @btmcsmax for specific fee details.
PingPong: Withdraw money to a Vietnamese bank account. #
PingPong is a cross-border payment service that allows Vietnamese sellers to receive money from international payment gateways and withdraw it to their domestic bank accounts. BettaMax integrates directly with PingPong in its dashboard.
- Function: Receive funds from PayPal ACDC merchant accounts and transfer them to Vietnamese banks.
- Processing time: Typically 1 to 3 business days after the withdrawal request is submitted.
- Requirement: You need to create a separate PingPong account and verify your identity before using it.
