Turkmenistan is one of 227 countries and regions where Dodo Payments enables merchants to accept payments from customers worldwide. With support for Credit Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, businesses can reach buyers in Turkmenistan without additional payment infrastructure.

## Supported Payment Methods

Customers in Turkmenistan can pay using the following methods through Dodo Payments:

- **Credit Cards** -- Primary payment method with broad network coverage from Visa, Mastercard, and other major schemes
- **Apple Pay** -- one-tap mobile payments on iOS devices and Safari
- **Google Pay** -- fast checkout on Android devices and Chrome browsers

Dodo Payments automatically detects customer location and presents the most relevant payment methods. No manual configuration is needed -- the checkout adapts to each buyer's country, device, and transaction currency.

## Currency: Turkmenistani Manat (TMT)

The local currency in Turkmenistan is the Turkmenistani Manat (TMT). When **Adaptive Currency** is enabled, Dodo Payments automatically converts and displays prices in TMT at checkout.

- **Conversion**: Prices convert from your base currency to TMT using live exchange rates
- **Customer fees**: 2-4% conversion fee (based on order value), borne by the customer
- **Settlement**: You receive funds in your configured base currency -- no multi-currency accounting needed

Displaying prices in TMT improves trust and reduces cart abandonment for customers in Turkmenistan who may hesitate when seeing prices in an unfamiliar currency.

## Tax and Compliance

As a **Merchant of Record**, Dodo Payments handles the tax obligations for digital goods and services sold to customers in Turkmenistan:

- **Tax calculation** -- Correct rates applied automatically based on product type and customer location
- **Collection** -- Tax collected from the customer at checkout
- **Invoicing** -- Compliant invoices generated for every transaction
- **Remittance** -- Tax filed and paid to the relevant authorities on your behalf

This removes the need to register for local tax, track changing rates, or manage filing deadlines in Turkmenistan.

## Regional Context
