Turkmenistan is one of 220+ 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

For Turkmenistan, method ordering should reflect local buyer habits rather than a generic global checkout. Start with high-trust methods above the fold, then expand based on completion-rate evidence by device and ticket size.

- **Credit Cards**: Widely accepted for both one-time and recurring payments, typically handling **35-80%** of online transaction value depending on category.
- **Debit Cards**: International-enabled debit cards with 3D Secure are supported for one-time payments and subscriptions.
- **Apple Pay**: High-converting on iOS with biometric confirmation; often lifts mobile completion by reducing form entry.
- **Google Pay**: Strong Android checkout option that shortens payment time and improves mobile conversion quality.
- **Stablecoins**: Pay from a crypto wallet in USDC, USDP, or USDG while you settle in USD, avoiding volatility.

## Currency: Turkmenistani Manat (TMT)

The local currency in Turkmenistan is the Turkmenistani Manat (TMT). TMT is not currently one of the currencies covered by Dodo Payments' **Adaptive Currency** feature, so customers in Turkmenistan are charged in your base currency (typically USD) and their card issuer handles any conversion.

- **Conversion**: The customer's bank converts the charge at its own rate and may add a foreign transaction fee
- **Customer fees**: No Dodo Adaptive Currency fee applies, since no conversion happens at checkout
- **Settlement**: You receive funds in your configured base currency -- no multi-currency accounting needed

Pricing in a stable base currency and stating it clearly at checkout helps customers in Turkmenistan anticipate the converted amount on their card statement.

## 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

Mobile-first payment adoption continues to accelerate across Asia, with QR-code and app-based payment methods gaining market share rapidly.
