Payment Gateway & Stripe for Lebanon — PayPal Receive-Only? The Complete Fix

In Lebanon, PayPal lets you send but not receive, Stripe isn't available, and local banking is unreliable? At PayGaters we open Stripe, a payment gateway, and a US bank account for you — through an official US company.

The payment problem in Lebanon

PayPal in Lebanon is effectively “send-only” — you can't reliably receive. Stripe and Shopify Payments aren't offered, and the banking situation makes collecting online income painful. Freelancers and store owners lose real money every month.

The complete 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. You finally receive Visa & Mastercard payments from anywhere and connect to your store — just like a supported country.

For freelancers & online stores

Collect client payments and store sales into a real US account, with no “receive-only” limits and no dependence on the local banking crisis.

Compliance note: Lebanese 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.
