The ways to pay

A dollar or virtual card — see virtual dollar cards.
A domiciliary-linked card — funded from your dom account.
PayPal — where supported; see funding PayPal in Nigeria.

Avoiding declined payments

Cards get declined when the issuer blocks foreign transactions or funds run low, so keep a buffer and compare the naira actually charged — the margin hides in the conversion, the lesson from reading an FX quote. Delivery and any customs add to the landed cost.
