In Kenya, fund from M-Pesa (where enabled), bank transfer, or stablecoins — then your Plu Visa matches international subscription profiles. Use Plu when PlanetScale bills internationally and local cards fail at checkout or on renewal.
In Kenya, fund from M-Pesa (where enabled), bank transfer, or stablecoins — then your Plu Visa matches international subscription profiles. PlanetScale routes payments through US/EU-led stacks. Domestic debit profiles often fail verification, renewals, or cross-border authorization.
What works
Use a funded Visa built for global SaaS and subscriptions — add it in PlanetScale's billing or wallet and top up before renewals. In Kenya, that usually means a Visa profile that authorizes like US/EU shoppers — not a domestic-only debit curveball at renewal.
With Plu
Fund Plu from supported rails or stablecoins, enter your Plu Visa at PlanetScale, and keep payments predictable.

PlanetScale often bills through international acquirers. Domestic-only debit profiles or BINs without cross-border authorization are declined at the network — not necessarily by PlanetScale's UI. Plu is a Visa card built for that billing profile.
How do I fund Plu before paying PlanetScale?
