Hi Shopify community! My name is Jeremiah from Ghana
I have built a Shopify store selling gadgets and electronics targeting international customers. The store is fully set up products, design, shipping policies, everything is ready to go.
My only challenge is payment processing. Stripe and PayPal are not directly available in Ghana, and Flutterwave/Paystack have not worked out for international payments.
I am looking for a trustworthy US or UK based person who can help with payment processing. You would register Stripe or PayPal and share API keys with me. I handle everything else — products, store, customer service, marketing, and fulfillment.
Revenue split is negotiable I am thinking 85% me / 15% you for a payment-only role.
If you are interested or have advice, please reply here or email me directly: jeremiahowusu609@gmail.com
I am serious, hardworking, and just need this one opportunity. Thank you!
I’d strongly advise against sharing API keys with someone else. It’s against both Stripe’s and PayPal’s terms of service and could get the account terminated with funds frozen.
The better path: form your own US LLC remotely. You don’t need to visit the US or be a resident. Once you have a US LLC + EIN, you can open your own Stripe and PayPal accounts legally and you own everything. The whole process costs around $300-500 and can be done in a few weeks through services like Firstbase, Doola, or Clemta.
Mateo is right about the US LLC route and definitely right about never sharing API keys. One thing to set expectations on though: a non-resident-owned new LLC selling electronics to international customers is close to the exact profile Stripe puts a rolling reserve on. Plan for a chunk of your revenue being held for the first few months, and don’t treat the LLC as a solved switch, treat it as an account that still has to survive risk review.
If you’d rather not do the LLC gymnastics, there are processors that onboard businesses outside the US/UK more directly. Airwallex, 2Checkout (Verifone) and Payoneer Checkout cover more regions and some take merchants in your situation as the local entity. Are you set on the LLC, or open to a processor that accepts you as a Ghana-based business?
