Payout routes

Ways to receive money once a platform pays you out, or to get USD/EUR receiving details. "Unclear" means the official source doesn't confirm it; we don't guess.

• PayPal operates in North Macedonia, but its country list doesn't say whether accounts there can receive money, so we mark it Unclear rather than Yes.
• Payoneer publishes no complete public country list, so it is Unclear everywhere on this site.
• Wise Business is listed for information only; Wise confirms business eligibility during sign-up.

The US LLC route

Non-US founders can form a US LLC or C-Corp remotely, get an EIN, open a US bank account (e.g. Mercury) and then open Stripe US. Rough costs below; state fees, registered agent renewals, US tax filings (e.g. Form 5472 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs) and your home-country tax obligations come on top.

• Stripe Atlas: $500 one-time setup fee (Delaware C-Corp or LLC, includes government fees and first year of registered agent); registered agent $100/yr after year one (renews automatically). (checked 2026-10-20)
• doola affiliate link: Starter $297/yr + state fees (formation, EIN, US address). Tax & Compliance $1,999/yr + state fees. doola says DIY typically costs $2,000–$5,000 in year one. (checked 2026-10-20)

Mercury for founders residing in North Macedonia: Yes Mercury is not on its prohibited list for founders residing in North Macedonia, so a US company could bank with Mercury, subject to Mercury's review. (source, checked 2026-10-20)
