It's possible the local legislation disallows charging in non-local currency. Eg. can you charge in rubles in USA?

I wonder where's the Bank of Hotdogs based in the US? :)

The point is that you need a bank to accept a payment in foreign currency and debit it into your account.

The problem with charging in rubles in the USA isn't the currency, it is that a person who transacts in rubles likely lives in Russia. And, thanks to the Ukraine invasion, the USA has sanctions that make paying someone in Russia rather difficult.

I was somewhat curious about that myself... if someone in the US even could pay for this site/app.
