Every route for Egypt

If you sell software or SaaS

1. Use a merchant of record that accepts Egypt. In our data: Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, Creem and Gumroad. A merchant of record sells to your customers, handles sales tax and pays you out, so you don't need your own Stripe account (what a merchant of record is).
2. Paddle is software-only and subject to review; it pays monthly by wire transfer or Payoneer (see the Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy vs Polar vs Dodo comparison).
3. Polar lists Egypt for payouts through Stripe Connect Express, with manual withdrawals once your balance reaches the minimum for your payout currency ($10 for USD; some local currencies are higher, see Polar’s payouts page) (Polar payout countries).
4. Dodo Payments is No for Egypt in our data: Not accepting new merchants. Only merchants onboarded before this country was restricted are grandfathered (policy dated 23 Mar 2026). (Dodo Payments payout countries).
5. Compare fees and payout rules before you build: Paddle vs Lemon Squeezy vs Polar vs Dodo.
