How Caribbean food sellers can take card payments
Short answer
Caribbean food sellers can take cards online with CXPay, the practical rail for the region — because Stripe generally can't onboard merchants based in islands like Sint Maarten, Curaçao, and Aruba. Internationally-based sellers can still use Stripe. Either way, PlateTicket collects payment up front when the customer orders, so you're paid before you cook, and you can also take cash at pickup. You choose whether to absorb or pass on processing fees.
CXPay for island merchants
CXPay enables local card acceptance where Stripe isn't an option, so island sellers can take online payments for pickup and delivery orders.
Stripe for international sellers
If your business is based somewhere Stripe supports, you can use Stripe instead. See supported payments.
Paid up front, fees your choice
Payment is collected on order, and you decide whether to absorb fees or pass them through — no dark-pattern add-ons.
