I try to limit all my freelancing to domestic clients only.
Anything beyond this, I would charge a premium rate. I would have to be prepared for the customer never paying, in which case I would depracate whatever work they received.
Second, I only accept payments via PayPal.
I do everything on a case-by-case basis.
My thoughts on International Letter of Credit: I spent several years as HW & SW engineer with certain purchasing responsibilities for a small company which sold high-priced systems to foreign customers mostly. Payment was always through International Letter of Credit, and payment was always difficult. A chain of banks was involved, and every bank in the chain sat on the payment for a full 3 days so they could collect interest on it. I was freqently within earshot of one of the owners complaining about the delays for payment to some unknown party.

Assuming you can take PayPal or some form of compatible payment.
Often times this is the biggest concern.
They found you, right, so this means they are willing to work with you.
To me this is about risk management and your level of trust. Assume that you will not get paid your final piece, and modify your percentages so any loss is tolerable and a survivable learning experience.
Bad Debt was an interesting concept. As an engineer, I thought Bad debt should be ZERO (I sell my time, which does not have a great margin in reality). But if you sell a product with a 40% margin. And you have ZERO bad debt (as opposed to 1% bad debt), then you are refusing 99 Customers at 40% profit (~400%) to save the risk of a 100% loss (and usually lower, because you credit less when first starting). It's bad business to have ZERO bad debt, because you have far too few customers who could be making you a lot of money.
I consider the few people who did not want to pay the rest of my bill a Marketing expense. Since I don't really do any marketing, the occasional $500 or $1,000 write off is what it is.
I usually know pretty quickly who is going to be a problem. I have walked away from a few potential clients because the vibe was wrong...

how to use feature of paste as plain text in CKEditor in MVC .net core.

You turn it off and then turn it back on again

CTRL+V
In extreme cases CTRL+ALT+DEL works well.
Look at the top of the page: it's pretty clear that this is the wrong place for this, if you look at the red bit...
Try here: Ask a Question[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You forgot ALT+F4 and then ENTER

I imagine you can just right-click and do it, right?
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

Or left click and do it, wrong?
|
|
|
|

Or middle click and do it very wrong indeed?

Thumb clicking would at least crash the system then.

After yesterday's oh-so-hard one, have an easy one today to get your brain's back in gear:
Watch a boat on-screen? (7)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nope (what's that got to do with a boat?)
|
|
|
|
|
spyship?
watch - spy
boat - ship
spyship was a tv series
(I know I'm wrong, but it fits)
|
|
|
|
|
Nice try, I suppose - but nope.

Yay, well done - I was getting seriously worried there....

It had me stumped for a while because I was too busy looking for non-existent wordplay, then I was trying to think of boats in the movies.

And the other 0.6% are made up after they are typed!
