Authorize.net - US LLC - How to get US-Signor? Non-US Citizen - No SSN

I have setup a Delware LLC + I have an EIN. UK and Australian Citizen. Non-USA.

Need Authorize.net account for recurring subscriptions for Shopify store in Nutra.

Being turned down by all high-risk processors, as they need a US Representative. And I dont have one.
If I sign up with Authorize.net direct (All-in-One) They have the same requirement.

How can I get around this blocker to get an Authorize.net account direct, or with a processor. Without a US Citizen involved?

Any high-risk processors that DO NOT need a US-Signor? And use Authorize.net?
Feels like the Delaware LLC is a bum steer, if still need to be a US Citizen for many things...

Thanks

Is Authorize.net the only payment processor available on the internet?

What is the high risk product/service that you sell and how much is it making monthly or is it a new business idea?

We are using Recharge for Subscriptions. So apart from Shopify Payments - Yes. It is the only payment processor on the internet. That works with Recharge Subscriptions other than Adyan which dont deal with Nutra.

We sell Nutra Gummies. It is not that high risk at all. From 300 transactions we had 12 chargebacks - Most of which are trial fraud. But Shopify Payments have disabled processing because of this.

You can set up an Authorize.net account by following these steps: create an ITIN number and rent a physical address for your company (a genuine physical address, not one of those virtual ones). This does involve a certain cost.

There’s a company that offers complete set-up packages for businesses in the US and Hong Kong. Notably, as part of its US LLC set-up package, it offers the rental of a single physical address in Florida. Since you’ve already taken the necessary steps to set up your company, ask them if they can simply rent you an address.

That’s what Authorize.net and any other payment processor need to approve your application. They want proof that you have a physical presence in the US. Genuine monthly rent invoices for the premises will suffice.

The name of the website run by the person who handles this is swiftnine.com. I’ve never used it myself, but the name of his website has already been mentioned here on this forum.
