What the answers mean
Stripe. Yes means it's listed with no label, so a business based there can sign up directly. Preview means the link goes to Stripe's sales team rather than open sign-up. Via Paystack means it's in Stripe's Extended network, which sends you to Paystack instead of a Stripe sign-up. No means it isn't on the list. Source: Stripe's list, checked .
Paddle. Paddle publishes the countries it can't support, not the ones it can, so Yes means it isn't on that list. Limited means some regions are on it. Paddle works with software businesses, so check what you sell too. Source: Paddle's list, checked .
Lemon Squeezy. Yes means it's on the bank payout list. PayPal only means it isn't on that list, but it is on PayPal's country list, so payouts depend on your PayPal account being able to receive money. Not confirmed means it's on PayPal's list, but PayPal's own site for that country only offers sending, so PayPal payouts look unlikely to work: PayPal's Nepal site, checked . Limited means bank payouts come with a condition. No means it's on neither list. Source: Lemon Squeezy's list, checked . Its 2026 update says its goal is to give users an easy way to migrate to Stripe Managed Payments, so read that before you build on it.
Providers change these lists, so confirm on the provider's own page before you sign up.
If Stripe says no
You've still got options. Stripe not available in my country compares the routes, and merchant of record vs Stripe explains how the tax side differs. Countries linked in the table have their own page with Stripe Atlas, Polar, Dodo Payments, Wise Business, PayPal and local gateways.
Not sure which route fits? Ask other founders how they get paid in the Remote Builders Slack. It's free.
How we check, and using this data
We read each provider's own page on the date shown and store its list as published. Every answer here is worked out from those lists, plus PayPal's own site where we've found it only offers sending. The countries come from the UN's list of member states, plus Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Kosovo, Macao, Palestine, Taiwan and Vatican City, so a territory that's not listed separately isn't covered.
