✅ How to Shop Using a Foreign Card

1. Choose a store that uses a secure payment gateway (Paystack, Flutterwave, etc.).

3. Select Debit/Credit Card payment, then enter your international card details.

4. Authenticate the payment using OTP or 3D Secure if required.

5. Receive confirmation via email or SMS.

⚠️ Things to Watch For

• International transaction fees: Typically around 3.5–3.9% plus a flat charge.

• Currency conversion: Most sites charge in Naira (NGN), so your bank will apply an exchange rate.

• Card security checks: Some banks may block or delay transactions if they flag them as unusual.

• Merchant support: Always choose stores with clear return policies and customer service options.
