Hi
Hope you are all well.

I want to start my dropshipping store and just found about NowPayments as payment provider, but i reached to them and asked if i can receive payments in fiat form like USD, Euro... on my site and they told me that they are not accepting fiat at the moment and they dont know ETA when it will be available. I cant use Stripe cause its not supported in my country North Macedonia.

Are there any other alternatives for woocommerce and not only getting payouts with crypto but also by cards if they provide/issue any or ATM?

Please tell me if your alternatives are good? Whats your experience with them? Are the fees low?

Thanks!
 
You could check providers like Payoneer, 2Checkout (Verifone), or Wise. They work in many unsupported Stripe countries and allow card payments with fiat payouts. Fees vary, so compare based on your volume and target markets.
 
Bro, best way to do dropshipping in 2025 it's with Hong Kong setup and AirWallex like payment gateway!

Hong Kong company formation costs an average of $1,100

Your company will be ready within 3-5 business days, and you can then register with Airwallex and start receiving payments immediately.

If spending this much for Airwallex might as well person setup UK Ltd and sign up for all possible card payment providers and see which will work out and won't cost person half this amount...

Opening a virtual company in the UK seems illogical to me because you only have one alternative, which is Stripe. If Stripe closes your account, you have no other stable alternative.



If you choose the US, it takes 1 month to get an EIN

and 3 months for an ITIN to become active.



Setting up a company in Hong Kong can be costly, but there are many alternatives, and there are more high-risk payment gateways in the Asian region.

The real issue is not the company's cost, but the stability of receiving payments.

No Stripe is one of several options available, UK and US have nearly same payment providers....
To name a few SumUp, Lemonsqueezy, Jar Pay, Paypal card checkout, 2Checkout, Wise business, Payoneer, Instabill, Corepay, WebPays, Zen Payments, Trust Payments, PaymentCloud, Cardstream, Braintree etc

These are stories
Most require a physical office and US employees. I applied to all of them, but if you don't have a physical office and don't have a partner or employee with a US SSN, they refuse to provide services.

Wise allow card payments? Never knew.
 
I switched to CoinGate for crypto and card payouts, fees are decent and setup was painless.

This is true, it depends on country you open and payment provider rules always do research of payment provider requirements and if others who try method worked or not before spend money

NowPayments is fine for crypto, but won’t solve ur card checkout issue. In countries Stripe skips, most go with offshore processors yes 4–6% fees but stable payouts. Smart move = test 1 PSP for card + keep a backup so sales don’t die if 1 cuts u off.

Offshore acquirers are usually in places like Malta, Cyprus, Mauritius, HK they know high-risk models and underwrite for it. Fees higher, but they won’t insta-ban you like Stripe/PayPal when traffic scales. Best play is test 1 offshore + keep a backup MID, so no single freeze kills ur store.
