You could open a briefcase company in a supported country to use stripe.
Stripe even offers this as a service called Stripe Atlas.
2co (Don't know if they still accept hosting or not)
I am not sure if it's supported in Egypt, but you can try Square. They have worked out well for us.
Stripe is a terrible company for hosts to use, they will kick you off if you are found to be a hosting provider.
Thank you. I will check if it's supported in egypt.
I would suggest to contact 2Checkout, as it shows "Egypt" from their Global Payments page.
I'm not sure about that, we've been using stripe for 2+ years and have got 0 issues. We even told them about our company's operations as well. I guess you've had too many chargebacks to deal with?
Stripe is fine if you don't get a single chargeback. When you do say goodbye to it.
Stripe is a joke. They could dump you for no reason. 2Checkout obviously accept hosting as they're advertising on the front page of WHMC gateways. But you should know they only allow 1% chargebacks and refunds also count! So it means that if you had like 100 transactions and 1 refund you're done...
2CO does not accept high risk business. Web hosting is a high risk business. You can try to signup, but eventually you will be booted out. Stripe is good solution.
Stripe is good, as long as you don't get chargebacks. They don't support high-risk businesses. So if you get a chargeback they kick you out. So if you want to use stripe just don't get any chargebacks.
I believe 2CO is what 3-6% per transaction? which is a lot higher than Stripe.
High-risk card payment gateways are expensive too, some will ask for a 10% reserve and some won't. So you are going to have to search out which one is best for you.
Unfortunately, Web Hosting is a high-risk business, you will never change a payment service provider's mind. Trust me I've tried multiple times to no success.
I saw alot of providers using stripe. Their fee is less that 2CO. But it's not supported in egypt. I don't know if I will be able to withdraw the received funds in egypt.

I will try 2CO. Stripe isn't supported in egypt. I don't know if I will be able to withdraw.
If Stripe isn't in Egypt then they won't accept your account and won't be able to transfer the funds to you. Do some googling there are plenty of payment gateways that can help you.
No it's not. Hundreds of web hosting companies are using 2CO. Take a look here: https://www.2checkout.com/legal/acceptance/ there is no sign of web hosting on their prohibited products page. We've also been using it for ~5 years 2011-2016.
Perhaps it's a good idea to use your local processor? Are there any Egypt-based processors?
As long as you manage your fraud properly you won't have issues with Stripe. Use MaxMind

I'm going to try 2checkout.
I like stripe also there are many web hosting companies using it. But the only problem is they don't support egypt and I'm withdrawing from egypt.
Thank you all. I'm going to try 2checkout.
You need to make sure your chargeback is always low in any payment gateway. Generally, it should be less than 1%. Sign up for fraud screening service such as FraudLabs Pro is recommended to manage your risk.
3D secure or nothing, amirit?
You are wrong 😂
lmao
