🌍 Accepting International Credit Card Transactions with BidKit

BidKit Payments makes it easy to accept credit card payments from international guests, so you can expand your event reach beyond borders. Here’s what you need to know about how these transactions work.

đź’ł How International Charges Are Processed

  • When a guest from another country uses a credit card to donate or make a purchase, the transaction is processed in USD (U.S. dollars) if your account is U.S.-based.

  • Your organization receives the funds in USD.

  • The guest's credit card company will handle the currency conversion from USD to their local currency.

  • Depending on their bank, the guest may see a foreign transaction fee on their statement.

This process allows you to accept payments from guests all over the world without making any changes to your ClickBid setup.

🇨🇦 Canadian Accounts and Currency

  • If your account is set up as Canadian, payments will be processed in CAD (Canadian dollars).

  • In this case, there are no foreign transaction fees for Canadian cardholders since the transaction stays within the same currency.

Want to avoid foreign transaction fees for your Canadian guests? Make sure your ClickBid account is configured as Canadian so all transactions happen in CAD.

âś… Key Takeaways

  • International cards are accepted through BidKit Payments.

  • Transactions are processed in USD or CAD based on your account’s country setting.

  • Foreign guests’ banks may add a small conversion fee, which ClickBid does not control.
