I am Arpon from Bangladesh. I am developing applications in Kodular since a year and sgbuilder newly, really enjoying to working AI platforms.
I MOSTLY focus in utility apps, few of them are running perfectly in the international market but currently I have developed an utility app for my own country Bangladesh. I want to add APP IN PURCHASE inside the app which will unlock a special feature inside the app but the Problem is
90% users do not have master card to pay for the app, 5% have master but cannot used for AIP.
For day to day transaction, People use Bkash over here. What is bkash ( Bkash is like paytm wallet) but to get an merchant account you need atleast $300)
I was thinking to create one of my own website by which user will be able to to pay, for example user need advance feature… To get this he need to pay 60 cash… And when user press on buy it will connect with my website and he/she will be able to pay.
U may use PayPal custom button link if there is any problem with BKash. It’s easy and accepts globally transactionable cards.
Still, I don’t think Google Pay is banned in your country and most probably Google Pay accepts max typ of credit and debit cards. Now in app billing feature uses google pay as far as I know. Kodular has In-App-Purchase component. It should not be a problem.
If still problem persists u may use popular payment extensions made by many developer like PayTm, PayPal etc. (I don’t know what’s exactly globally acceptable payment system in your country).
Paypal ( A very few amount of users use Paypal over here)
Paytm ( Paytm is an Indian Payment gateway not Bangladesh)
Bkash ( Bangladesh Payment gateway but very expernsive if i implement that directly)
What i was saying i can take 20 Rs ( I am saying in your currency for easy understand) from user thrrough bkash and upload add the amount in my own developed wallet website.
When user wanna buy, he connects my API and check with the site if balance available it will cut and pay them…
I understood…but u gave a very difficult situation. Either you have to accept expensive but popular payment system or you have to choose less expensive but less popular payment system. Choice is yours.
But what I was telling was about generic In-App-Purchase component of Kodular which probably uses Google Pay and it accepts probably max type of cards.
Requesting the community to start working to develop the Extension for Bangladeshi Mobile Payment (bkash, Roket, etc.) option. It’ll be really helpful for the app developer community. A greater scope will be open.
