Slash international payment fees by 70% for freelancers with smart routing.
Freelancers lose significant income to high fees and face restrictive limitations when processing payments from international clients via Stripe and PayPal.
FeeSlash automatically detects client location and routes payments through the lowest-fee gateway like Wise, Payoneer, or local methods. Freelancers create invoices once, and clients pay seamlessly without high Stripe/PayPal cuts. Payouts hit your bank in 1-2 days at minimal cost.
