About the Book
You built something people want. Then the tutorial said "connect your Stripe account", and your country wasn't on the list. Or you made sales, and then couldn't get the money out.
Sell Globally Without Stripe is a practical guide for creators in Nigeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Vietnam, the Philippines, Kenya and every other country the "sell in 10 minutes" tutorials forgot. It covers the part between "someone wants to pay me" and "the money is in my bank", step by step.
What you'll learn
- Why Stripe says no to your country, and why you don't need it
- The three pipes your money flows through, and where it leaks on the way
- How a Merchant of Record sells for you and handles global sales tax
- How to pick a platform by where it can pay you, not by its homepage
- How to test payouts with one dollar before you build anything
- PayPal, Wise, Payoneer and local options: the "per $100" test
- The W-8BEN, line by line, without panic
- Pricing for buyers in rich and poor countries at the same time (PPP)
- Your real take-home from every sale, to the cent
- How to avoid frozen accounts, and what to do if it happens
- When a US LLC or other foreign company actually makes sense
What's inside: 12 chapters plus a 30-day action plan, 3 diagrams, a TL;DR and "Do This Today" list at the end of every chapter, and worksheets: platform checklist, comparison tables, money log, glossary and sources. PDF (116 pages) and EPUB.
Written by a payment engineer who builds payment systems for a living, from Indonesia, a country without open Stripe signup.
Who it's for: creators, freelancers and indie developers selling ebooks, templates, courses, art assets, presets, plugins or software from countries Stripe doesn't fully support.
Who it's not for: people looking for a get-rich scheme, or a country-by-country legal guide.
Platform facts checked October 2026. Not legal or tax advice.
