If your e-wallet isn’t listed
- If your e-wallet gives you a Visa or Mastercard (physical or virtual), it can work anywhere cards are accepted. Check in the app that online and international payments are switched on.
- Prices in US dollars are converted by your card issuer, which may add a fee and use its own exchange rate.
- Some providers check cards with a small temporary hold when you add them.
Before you pay
- Refunds can differ by method. Hostinger, for example, refunds GCash payments to your Hostinger balance, not back to GCash.
- Auto-renewal usually needs a card or PayPal on file; e-wallet payments may need manual renewal.
- Keep receipts if you need them for business expenses.
