Taking payments in Malaysia
Organizations in Malaysia can sell event tickets and collect program fees, membership dues and giving into their own Stripe account. The person paying adds MsgOrb's fee of 2% + RM 2.25 per payment (someone giving can choose not to cover it, and it then comes out of the amount given); Stripe's own fee comes out of your payout.
