Hello community, has anyone figured out how to monetize the app in countries where Hercules Commerce isn’t supported? What would be your best advice? We want to deploy the app in Latin America. I consulted some AI tools and they suggested using Stripe directly or Lemonsqueezy. Any recommendations?
Hi @Frank_Lagla, for now you can use third party payment providers. We will try to add as many countries as we can to commerce though!
Hi @Frank_Lagla - I checked the docs and here is the current situation:
Hercules Commerce currently supports a limited set of countries. If your target markets (like Latin America) aren’t on that list, you have two main options:
- Use a third-party payment provider directly (as the AI suggested). You can integrate Stripe or Lemon Squeezy directly into your app to handle payments for those unsupported regions. This is a common workaround.
- Contact the Hercules team to request specific country additions. While @Arnav mentioned they are working on expanding support, there is no public ETA for when Latin American countries will be added to the native Commerce integration.
Recommendation:
For now, integrating Stripe directly is likely your most robust option for Latin America, as it has strong local payment method support in many LATAM countries.
