Can you guy create a Stripe account if you not in their supported country?

[Cuong]

I want to use Stripe for my Shopify Store.
I'm stuck with Paypal right now and it's very inconvenience for customers.
Thanks guys!

You could simply incorporate your business in a country that is supported by them and apply?

that would kind of defeat the purpose of an offshore company, as per the actual name of this forum, i strongly feel that he was talking about starting a offshore IBC / LLC and then somehow opening a banking account that would allow for Stripe regsitration.

Im thinking maybe BVI - British Virgin islands since it´s technically UK ish maybe they would let you open ? annybody knows ?

BVI is accepted by most European payment processors and merchant account providers. It's not a big deal.
