ClearMyPTE Now Accepts International Payments
2 min read
Pay in Your Local Currency
ClearMyPTE now accepts payments in 6 tier-1 currencies with USD as a global fallback for any other country.
Supported Currencies
- INR — India
- USD — USA + global default for any unmapped country
- AUD — Australia + New Zealand
- GBP — United Kingdom
- EUR — Ireland + Eurozone
- CAD — Canada
Outside these 6, the system shows you USD pricing.
How Currency is Detected
We detect your currency in this priority order:
- Your saved preference (set when you switch on the pricing page).
- Your country code (derived from your phone number at signup).
- CloudFlare's detection of your IP location.
- Default to USD.
You can override anytime via the currency dropdown on the pricing page.
How Payments Are Processed
- India (INR): Razorpay or Cashfree (whichever is active).
- Everywhere else: Stripe-hosted checkout. Supports cards globally, supports SCA / 3D Secure, supports Apple Pay / Google Pay where available.
Tax Handling
- India: 18% GST included.
- Australia: 10% GST.
- New Zealand: 15% GST.
- UK: 20% VAT.
- Ireland: 23% VAT.
- Canada: 5% GST (provincial taxes excluded).
- USA + others: no tax added.
Cross-Currency Note
For data integrity, you can't directly upgrade between currencies. A user who paid in INR cannot upgrade to AUD pricing without contacting support — this prevents accounting and refund complications. If you change country, please reach out and we'll set up the switch manually.
What's Not Supported (Yet)
- JPY, KRW, and other zero-decimal currencies (planned for a later release).
- Crypto payments (no plans).
- Bank transfer (only via Razorpay in India).
Why This Matters
If you're outside India and were previously paying in INR + foreign exchange fee, you'll now see your real cost in your local currency at checkout. No more surprise FX charges from your bank.
