Uzbek Businesses: Accepting Payments From International Customers

Uzbekistan's tech sector has grown quickly, with IT Park residents exporting services to clients abroad. Payment acceptance for foreign customers remains a bottleneck: Stripe doesn't onboard businesses based in Uzbekistan, and international card acquiring through local banks is limited.

How to get paid by foreign customers

• Bank transfers for B2B clients under contract.
• Stablecoins from clients who already use crypto.
• Card-to-crypto checkout: the foreign client pays by card through a provider licensed in their country, and you receive USDC.

A professional checkout

Payment links show your service, the amount and your branding (Pro). The checkout is available in Russian and English, which suits clients across the region and beyond.

Testing from Uzbekistan

Card providers are chosen by the payer's location. Card coverage for payers inside Uzbekistan is thin, so a test card payment made from Uzbekistan — or with a card issued there — often fails, even though customers in the US, UK or EU are offered a much wider set of providers. For a realistic test, use a card and location from the country your customers are in. Vulta's dashboard shows this note automatically when you're testing from a limited-coverage country.

Getting started

1. Create a free Vulta account — email only, no company documents.
2. Add a USDC (Polygon) wallet for card payments, plus any crypto wallets you want (USDT on TRON is popular and cheap).
3. Create a payment link: Card only for mainstream buyers, Card + Crypto for everyone.

Vulta takes 0% of payments; plans are Free, Pro ($20/month) and Max ($49/month). Always check how your local rules treat income received in digital assets and declare it for tax as required.

Frequently asked questions

Is the checkout available in Russian?

Yes, as well as English and Spanish.

Can IT Park residents use this for export revenue?

Vulta handles the payment. How export revenue must be documented and declared depends on your status; check IT Park and tax rules.

Which stablecoin do clients in the region prefer?

USDT, mostly on TRON.

Can clients in Russia pay by card?

No. Card providers don't serve payers in Russia. Crypto payments work regardless of location.
