If someone can send you money, I am wondering if Western Union or MoneyGram might be viable options?

Beyond that, you need to start working on long term solutions. I don't know what that would be in your case. Maybe you were asking for a viable solution to run an online business? I am not 100% clear here.

I wish I could send you money. I can't. I am homeless myself, though homeless in America. I struggle to get enough to eat every month. So I don't have money to spare.

I am sorry for some of the replies you have gotten here. There is no shortage of callous jerks in the world who just don't appreciate how good they have it.

Good luck.

How about setting up a company in a country where you can?

You could set up a UK company, for example, and accept payments through Stripe and Paypal in name of the company. The company can then pay you a salary/dividends/etc.

There are tons of payment gateways. Doku.com being the biggest. This guy is a troll.

sorry, Doku is for physical goods, you know Indonesia has relatively low in software industry sector. Please don't judge me check the site first

and again I need a gumroad.com-like where payout is through bank account and support my country(Indonesia).'

There is no such platform like that in my country :(

I spend for few years to research about this.

skrill braintree and stripe are good. maybe a indonesian processor, like doku? best to get a real job for day and sell software as a side job. maybe something where you can get tips from tourists like taxi driver, tourguide, bar tender, resturant server (not sure if they tip there), or something like that.

sorry but, doku has no faq about how to withdraw from international payment EDIT:it doesn't support digital goods

http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-leading-payment-gateway-co...

maybe that can help

try adding +digital to a search like "indonesia payment processor"

Well, you should focus on getting on your feet first (i.e. get a development job), making sure you can survive and make a decent living.

But you can open a UK company and run it from Indonesia.

I must waiting for 100 years till I die (now 21 years old) to have one employee to handle online payment system. Genius!
