What xPay does

We're building a commerce solution for SaaS companies globally that have overseas customers. We especially help them with streamlining billing operations like invoicing and reconciliation, managing foreign sales tax and accepting payments. We abstract out the complexities of compliance, remittance and integration for these merchants by running all that machinery in the background.
