Question 1

How do I accept Stripe payments if I'm not in a supported country?

Accepted Answer

FlowPay registers a US LLC or UK Ltd company for you, sets up the matching business banking, and opens a fully verified Stripe account under that entity. The whole process is remote and typically takes 2–4 weeks, after which you can accept Stripe, PayPal and Apple Pay legally from anywhere in the world.

Question 2

What payment methods work best for stores selling inside Lebanon?

Accepted Answer

For stores selling primarily to customers in Lebanon, the best-performing payment methods are Whish Money, OMT and Cash on Delivery, because these are the options Lebanese shoppers already know and trust. FlowPay sets up all three with local settlement, and no US or UK company registration is needed for a Lebanon-only store. If you later expand to international customers, FlowPay adds Stripe, PayPal and Apple Pay on top through a registered US LLC or UK Ltd.

Question 3

How long does the full setup take?

Accepted Answer

Payment infrastructure (company registration plus Stripe and PayPal verification) takes 2–4 weeks. A full store build takes 3–5 weeks. The Full Bundle, which combines both, is typically live in 4–6 weeks.

Question 4

Do I need to travel to the US or UK to register a company?

Accepted Answer

No. Company registration, bank account opening and payment gateway verification are all handled remotely. You never need to travel or visit an office.

Question 5

Which payment methods will my store accept after setup?

Accepted Answer

Your store will accept all major credit and debit cards via Stripe, plus PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For payouts to your local account, we set up Wise or Payoneer so funds reach you quickly with low fees.

Question 6

What happens if my Stripe or PayPal account gets flagged?

Accepted Answer

Because every account is set up compliantly from day one — real entity, real documents, consistent business details — flags are rare. If one does happen, Full Bundle clients get account defense support to resolve it.

Question 7

Do you work with existing stores or only new builds?

Accepted Answer

Both. We can rebuild or optimize an existing Shopify store, or start from zero. The free audit is the fastest way to find out which applies to you.

Question 8

How do payouts reach my local bank account?

Accepted Answer

We connect your Stripe and PayPal balances to Wise or Payoneer business accounts, which pay out to your local bank in your own currency at competitive exchange rates.

Question 9

Is this legal and compliant with Stripe's terms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your store operates under a real, registered company with genuine documents and banking — exactly what Stripe and PayPal require. We never use borrowed identities, fake addresses or shortcuts that get accounts banned.
