Many payment gateways, Stripe first among them, only accept companies registered in a supported country. A US LLC lets a seller outside the US open a business bank account, accept card payments and receive payouts from marketplaces.
It is not a magic solution: the company has yearly obligations (an annual report in its state, and Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 for a foreign-owned single-member LLC), even when the profit is zero. Our course walks through each step in order: choosing the state, forming the company, the US address, the EIN, then Mercury, Stripe, Wise, PayPal and Payoneer.
