The invoice that has to cross a border
You delivered the API reference and the tutorial set. The client approved the work. Now they ask for a W-9 and a US bank account number.
Your client's procurement system is set up for domestic payments: ACH, wire, dollars. If you cannot provide that, payment stalls. You might wait for an international wire that your local bank holds for days, or you might use a money transfer service with its own fees and limits. The work is done, but the money is still on the wrong side of the border.
Invoicing from a US company
You register and verify your identity once. Then you add your client and describe the work. PANORAMA payments issues the invoice to your client on behalf of a US company. The client pays in dollars by ACH or wire to a US bank. If your client needs a W-9, it is available on request.
The payer does not have to be in the United States. PANORAMA payments accepts payment from clients in any country that is not under sanctions. Invoices can be issued in eleven currencies, including US dollars, euros, pounds sterling, Canadian and Australian dollars, and Swiss francs. Whoever pays, the money is received by the US company.
After the client pays, PANORAMA payments deducts one platform fee. You receive the rest in your own country. There is no monthly subscription and nothing is charged before your client has paid.
Your deliverables and their procurement
Technical writing for US clients is usually billed one of three ways: tracked hours invoiced weekly or monthly, a fixed price for a defined piece of work, or the same amount every month for continuing work. The deliverable might be product documentation, API references, tutorials and quickstarts, or a docs site that builds.
Your buyer is often an engineering manager or a documentation lead with a budget that goes through procurement. That procurement process expects a US vendor. When you send an invoice as an individual in another country, it can look like a foreign supplier to the client's accounts payable. They may need to set you up as an international vendor, which can take time and involve extra paperwork. With PANORAMA payments, the invoice comes from a US company, so it fits into the client's normal domestic process.
Payment to your home country
When the client pays, you choose how to receive your money. Depending on your country, PANORAMA payments can send funds by bank transfer, SWIFT, SEPA, Wise, to a local account, or in dollar-denominated digital assets. You receive the amount after the platform fee is deducted. There is no charge to you before the client has paid.
PANORAMA payments does not give tax advice and is not your employer. You remain responsible for your own taxes at home. The platform handles the payment mechanics, not your tax obligations.
