How to Set Up Stripe and PayPal as a Non-US Resident

Accept card payments worldwide. How non-residents use a US LLC + EIN to open Stripe and PayPal — requirements, steps and pitfalls.

Stripe and PayPal are far easier to use through a US company. A US LLC plus an EIN unlocks full access to US Stripe and PayPal Business, with better approval odds than many local options.

Why use a US LLC

Access to Stripe US, PayPal Business with USD payouts, higher customer trust, and availability even where Stripe is not offered in your home country.

What you need

A US LLC, an EIN (no SSN), a US business bank or fintech account, and a US business address.

Setting up Stripe and PayPal

Create the accounts under your LLC, verify the EIN and link your US bank. Keep your business information consistent across Stripe, PayPal and your bank to avoid verification holds.

A Stripe Atlas alternative

Stripe Atlas bundles a Delaware company + Stripe, but forming your own LLC in the optimal state (often Wyoming) and connecting Stripe yourself is more flexible and usually cheaper — which is what we set up for you.
