Paying for Surfshark from Costa Rica
In Costa Rica, fund GetPlu with bank transfer or stablecoins, then use your GetPlu Visa for cross-border digital services. Surfshark routes payments through US/EU-led stacks. Domestic debit profiles often fail verification, renewals, or cross-border authorization.
What works
