Paying for Restream from Japan
In Japan, fund GetPlu with bank transfer or stablecoins, then use your GetPlu Visa for subscriptions that bill in USD outside Japan. Restream (restream.io) offers Free, Standard, Professional, and Business plans for multi-destination live streaming. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually through Stripe in USD.
Why local cards fail
Stripe's BIN validation rejects domestic-only debit cards and cards from ranges flagged for SaaS subscriptions. This affects both the initial subscription and monthly auto-renewals. In Japan, that usually means a Visa profile that authorizes like US/EU shoppers - not a domestic-only debit curveball at renewal.
