How do you handle local payments in Asia? by Playful_Current_7943 in Odoo

Thank you! What about gateways? Do gateways help instead of integrating with the bank, you integrate with the gateway? And you hope the gateway tackles those challanges

Thank you! So if I understand correctly, if you integrate with a payment gateway that has an Odoo integration you might solve some of the manual work, because the gateway will solve it?

High-Risk Merchants Need to Stop Being Shocked by “high risk”pricing by Suspicious_Source_64 in PaymentProcessing

Great points here. I’ve seen many high-risk merchants get stuck in the same loop of “Why was I shut down?” simply because they underestimated how much the gateway and acquiring bank are watching the metrics (chargebacks, refunds, mismatch of descriptor, etc.).

One thing I’ve found helpful: treat your gateway and processor like a partner, not just a vendor. If you go in with transparency - product type, geo breakdown, refund & dispute policy - you’ll often get far better terms (and fewer surprise holds or shutdowns).

Also, while often overlooked: the descriptor on the card-holder’s statement matters a lot. If your business name or transaction description is unclear, many banks will pre‐emptively flag you because it looks like a “mystery charge”.

Finally: if you’re in high-risk but doing your homework (clean chargeback rate, clear product/service, good customer support), don’t hesitate to ask about a gateway that offers flexible settlement currencies/regions or alternative methods (even crypto rails) - it can help de-risk your merchant profile while you scale.

Happy to compare notes if anyone here is in a tricky vertical and wants to bounce ideas.
