Receive Stripe and PayPal Payments Legally with an Armenian Company

монетизация тик ток

Receive PayPal (via Payoneer), Stripe Express Payouts (via Buy Me a Coffee, LemonSqueezy) with an Armenian Business.

The Challenge

If you run an online business, SaaS project, or e-commerce store, you’ve probably faced the same problem as thousands of entrepreneurs: limited access to payment processors.

PayPal is restricted in many countries.

Stripe does not work in Armenia.

Traditional banks often block withdrawals or charge high fees.

But there is a smarter way: set up an Armenian company (LLC or IE) and legally connect it to international payment services that support Armenian businesses.

What Works in Armenia

1

PayPal via Payoneer

  • You cannot open a direct PayPal Business account in Armenia.

  • However, with a verified Payoneer Business Account, you can send and receive PayPal payments.

  • Payoneer provides a bridge: your Armenian company can invoice clients worldwide and still receive funds from PayPal users.

2

Stripe Express

  • Standard Stripe merchant accounts are not available in Armenia.

  • But Stripe Express (via Buy Me a Coffee, LemonSqueezy) is supported for global card processing.

  • That means you can connect your Armenian company, verify your bank account, and receive payouts legally through Stripe Express.

3

Buy Me a Coffee & LemonSqueezy

  • Both platforms accept Armenian legal entities (LLCs and IEs).

  • Perfect for creators, SaaS products, and e-commerce businesses.

  • LemonSqueezy even acts as a merchant of record, simplifying VAT/GST collection.

Why Armenia?

Armenia is becoming a hub for digital entrepreneurs thanks to its low taxes, simple registration process, and reliable banking system.
Here’s what you get with an Armenian business:

Legal access to Payoneer, Stripe Express, Buy Me a Coffee, and LemonSqueezy.

Low turnover tax — as little as 0% (Edu), 1% (IT), 10% (others) for qualifying activities.

Multi-currency accounts with SWIFT & SEPA.

Remote setup with quick registration.

The option to apply for an Armenian residence permit through your company.

Example of Savings

Imagine your SaaS startup processes $100,000 per year in payments:
  • In Europe or the U. S., you’d face 20–30% corporate tax plus VAT.
  • In Armenia, under the simplified turnover tax regime, your liability can be as low as 10% — saving tens of thousands annually.
