Payment Gateway & Stripe for Iraq — Receive Online Payments Worldwide

Run an online store or freelance from Iraq and can't activate Stripe or get paid online? You're not alone — and there's a clean, legal fix. At PayGaters we open Stripe and a US bank account for you through a US company.

Why is getting paid online hard from Iraq?

Stripe and Shopify Payments aren't available for Iraqi-registered businesses, and local cards rarely work for global online selling. Iraq's fast-growing e-commerce and freelance scene keeps hitting the same wall: customers want to pay by Visa/Mastercard, but there's no gateway to accept them.

The solution: a US LLC with Stripe & a US bank

We form a US LLC in your name, obtain its EIN, help open a US bank account, and activate Stripe & Shopify Payments under the company — so you accept Visa & Mastercard from anywhere and connect to your store. 100% legal.

Compliance note: Iraqi founders are fully served. PayGaters operates in full compliance with U.S. law; all clients complete identity verification, and we are unable to serve individuals or entities located in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions.

Does Stripe work for Iraqis?
