What your client's finance team sees when you send an invoice
An American company receives an invoice from a contractor outside the United States. The finance team opens it and sees a foreign name, a foreign address, and a bank account in another country. Their accounts payable process is set up for domestic suppliers. A foreign invoice means a wire transfer, currency conversion, and possibly a conversation with their bank about international payments. None of this is impossible, but it is not the routine.
Then there is the matter of tax reporting. US companies are used to collecting a W-9 from suppliers. Without one, they may wonder whether they should withhold anything. Most likely they will not, but the question is enough to make the invoice sit in a queue while they work out what to do. The work itself may be excellent, but the payment process has become a project.
For an Android developer, this can be especially frustrating. You delivered the Play Store release, the Kotlin codebase, and the device compatibility fixes. The client's product team is happy. The finance team, however, sees only an unfamiliar payment request.
How the invoice looks when PANORAMA is involved
When you use PANORAMA, the invoice your client receives is issued by a United States company. From the client's point of view, they are paying a domestic supplier. They can pay by ACH or wire transfer, in dollars, to a US bank account. If their finance team asks for a W-9, it is available on request.
The client does not have to handle any international payment details. They do not need to send a wire to a foreign bank or think about exchange rates. Their accounts payable process remains exactly what it would be for any other American vendor. That is the change that removes the hesitation.
You do not need to be in the United States, and you do not need to set up a US entity. The US company that issues the invoice acts as the merchant of record, but you remain the one doing the work and receiving the payment.
Your side of the process
To get started, you register with PANORAMA and verify your identity once. Then you describe the client and the work. That is enough for PANORAMA to issue an invoice on your behalf. You can scope the work as you normally would: tracked hours billed weekly or monthly, a fixed price for a defined piece of work, or a fixed price split across stages.
Once the invoice is sent, you focus on the development. You do not have to chase the client's finance team for payment details or explain why your bank is in another country. The client pays the US invoice, and PANORAMA handles the rest.
The platform charges one fee per invoice, and it is deducted only after the client has paid. There is no monthly subscription. If a client never pays, you are not charged.
Getting paid in your own country
After the client pays the invoice, PANORAMA pays you in your country of residence. Depending on where you live, you can receive funds by bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, a local account, or in dollar-denominated digital assets. The payment arrives in a way that works for you, without you needing to maintain a US bank account.
You remain responsible for your own taxes at home. PANORAMA does not give tax advice and is not your employer. The payment you receive is income for your work as an Android developer, and you report it according to the rules in your country.
The client can be a company or a private individual, and they do not have to be American. Payment is accepted on behalf of clients in any country that is not under sanctions, and the invoice can be issued in eleven currencies, including US dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian and Australian dollars, and Swiss francs. Whoever the payer is, the money is received by the US company.
