Hello HN, I want to monitize my web app. It's a website uptime, SSL and domain monitoring service sitemonki.com. It's been running for almost 2 years now on a free tier with a couple of hundred users. But I now wish to add premium package. However, being from Uganda, I am finding it challenging to accept payments on the App. I thought of Stripe or Paypal, but my country is not supported. Any suggestions, thanks.

#3Interesting challenge.
This is not my area of expertise, but maybe something like this can work for you:
Remotely setup a company in US/Europe.
Setup a Stripe account with the company.
Send money back via transferwise - it says it supports Uganda.
Obviously, this comes with costs. Maybe others have better suggestions.
