Why Singapore creators are switching
The premium creator stack, finally honest
GST handled for you
Singapore GST is 9% as of 2024. If you sell digital goods cross-border you owe GST on Singaporean buyers above the threshold. Publica Now is Merchant of Record — we invoice, collect, and remit. You get clean SGD payouts.
PayNow at checkout, SGD payouts
Stripe in Singapore offers PayNow real-time payments, GrabPay, Alipay, and cards. Buyers pay how they prefer; you receive in SGD via local bank transfer. No USD bouncing through three banks before it lands.
Premium positioning, premium margins
Patreon and Substack push you into LCD pricing tiers. Publica Now lets you set any price in USD and convert at checkout. Sell a $200 course at $200 — keep 85% net of platform fee. No "audience cap" pricing.
Local payment methods
Buyers in Singapore pay how they want
Stripe handles every method below. You set the price once in USD; we convert at checkout, accept the buyer's preferred rail, and pay you out at end of month.
