Can a Nigerian card can be used to pay for a Mauritius registered account?

Are you referring to subscription billing? If so, please note that QuickBooks Online uses a regionalised billing system. When you sign up for an account in a specific country or region, such as Mauritius, the system locks that account to the currency and tax regulations of that region. You can refer to this article for more information: Manage billing, payment, and subscription info.

If you attempt to use a Nigerian debit or credit card, the transaction will not go through since the system will prompt you for a Mauritian billing address. When the bank in Nigeria receives the authorisation request, the address won't match its records, or the system will simply reject the card because its BIN (Bank Identification Number) identifies it as originating outside the permitted region.

However, if you are referring to collecting payments from customers via invoices, it's also worth noting that QuickBooks Payments is only available in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. Since you are planning to opt for a Mauritius-registered account, you will have to integrate a third-party application to process cross-border transactions and accept international card payments.

Please let me know if you require any additional clarification on this matter. My goal is to make sure your experience with QuickBooks is smooth and hassle-free, and I'm always here to help.
