Hello! I need to connect a payment system to the website so that clients from the USA can pay for a digital service. I am a sole proprietor, and I hope this will help. For this, some intermediary like Western Bid is needed; I have worked with them before. The service is not a physical product. An example is this project now, which is a service. But I am also interested in digital goods. Also, bypass methods, registering a company in the USA, can be forgotten. If there are other options, I will gladly listen.
And overall, I am shocked at what is happening in the world... and such attitudes towards Ukraine.....

Payment acceptance should be possible via bank card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal. Priority — accepting payments from the USA without blocks, with funds withdrawal to Ukraine (to Wise / Payoneer / Ukrainian banks).

🔍 Context and issues:

✅ I have independently checked and tested several platforms but faced limitations because I am from Ukraine:

❌ What has already been checked:

1. Payhip
   ➖ Does not accept payments independently — works through my Stripe/PayPal
   ➖ Stripe is unavailable in Ukraine
   ➖ PayPal gives an error "To comply with international regulations, this transaction has been declined"

2. Paddle
   ➖ Application was rejected because services are not SaaS/software
   ➖ Official response was that “human services without software” are not supported

3. LemonSqueezy
   ➖ Stripe is mandatory for verification
   ➖ Stripe payments are not available for Ukraine
   ➖ PayPal connected, but verification cannot be completed — fields are blocked

4. Stripe (I think everything is clear about it)
   ➖ Officially does not support Ukraine
   ➖ Without registering a company in the USA, I cannot pass moderation

5. Gumroad, Ko-fi, Sellfy
   I have not tested them. But I think, maybe I am wrong, but I believe they will behave similarly to LemonSqueezy, but perhaps they are the ones who might allow connection, just I ran out of strength to test....
   ➖ Require connecting PayPal/Stripe
   ➖ Or do not fit the format of my services (more suitable for physical/digital goods)

🎯 What I need:

I am NOT interested in API integration or frontend.
What I am interested in is:

1. Finding a real platform/payment gateway that:

   • ✅ accepts payments from the USA (cards, PayPal, Apple Pay)

   • ✅ works with Ukraine or bypasses restrictions

   • ✅ allows accepting payments for services (not SaaS, not goods)

   • ✅ transfers funds to Ukraine (to Wise / Payoneer / bank card)

2. Help with:

   • ✅ passing verification

   • ✅ filling out documents (W8, passport, other forms)

   • ✅ bypassing Stripe / or legal connection of Stripe (if possible)

   • ✅ consulting on PayPal: how to have a business account, accept payments, avoid blocks
     Note! I have a PayPal account, a business account. But it is specified as Ukrainian. So there are different restrictions.

❗️Attention — I am NOT interested in:

• Proposals to “simply connect Stripe” (without registering a company in the USA, it does not work)

• API integrations with ready-made services

• Stores like Shopify / Wix / Ecwid (not my area)

• Solutions only for physical goods, without support for services

📂 Result:

I expect from you:

• ✅ Proposal of 1–2 platforms that actually work in 2025 with Ukraine for accepting payments for services

• ✅ Specific instructions: how to pass verification, what and where to submit

• ✅ Assistance at stages: documents, verification, bypassing restrictions

• ✅ Explanation — how exactly payments will be accepted, who is the recipient (me or the platform), where the funds go

💬 Write in your reply:

• Your experience with connecting payment systems for services (not goods)

• Have you had experience connecting payment systems for entrepreneurs from Ukraine

• Which platforms do you consider the best for my task

I am ready to give access to all accounts if needed. Budget is negotiable — depends on your experience and your proposal.
I look forward to professional assistance. Thank you!
