Hello All,

I own a small online store, not based in US (That's why I can't get Stripe)
I only have Paypal as proper payment method, but I'm seeing reviews here that Paypal is very risky.

Any other good alternatives? - I use Woocommerce on the store.

Thanks,
Josh Saga
 
No PayPal and stripe are best for USA sales if your sales are not in the USA Im sure there are other options.

You can check for other payment processors native in your country. But I find them to even be stricter.

Paypal will do at the start but as you scale, might be worth partnering with a good payment processor.

My sales are from the USA - but the store is not from the USA - hence I can't process Stripe. Stripe is not available in my country as well.

Payment processors in my country doesn't have Woocommerce integration sadly.
 
Register a company elsewhere and get a stripe and paypal account from there.
 
WebMoney, TransferWise, Skrill
Are they useful in Russia and United Kingdom based.
 
If you are only targeting one country, try looking for a payment processor that works for most banks. For example, in The Netherlands there is iDeal which 99.9% people can use with their bank account.

File a company in the US,

There are quite a few Tax haven states you could work with ; Deleware , Wyncosyn , Kentucky.

On successfully forming your entity, You can use that to legally create a stripe account , then esy payment integration for your US targets.

Stripe allows you to verify your identity with your country ID. That should solve your problem pretty decent.

Do you have recommendations with this? Where or how? Does BHW Marketplace ever offer something of the sort?

Thanks

There are many agencies out there but I've worked with incauthority.com, It takes 2-3 business days to have your entity formed. Then 1-2 weeks to get you filed for EIN/ Federal Tax ID from IRS.

The financial cost is approximately < 200 USD, You don't have to select all upsells.

Most important services to work ;

Tax ID/EIN - 49 USD
Operation Cost - 89 USD
Formation state - Depends ( see above aforementioned states)

You would need a US mobile number and an address - You can easily source for this as a BHW member.

After a successful formation; IncAuthority offers a bank account creation with BOA. I've not use that approach personally. Mercury seems to be a more friendly choice ( My preference ).
 
Paddle is also good for digital products if you follow there rules. But i think its better to have a us company for longer run. you will save yourself from headeche of alternatives.Be careful about your business niche. if its high risk merchant they will ban easily.
