Stripe Vietnam: Accept International Payments for POD & SaaS
Stripe does not support Vietnamese banks — but you can unlock a 100% verified Stripe US account using a Wyoming LLC with USD payouts to Wise & Mercury. The same US LLC also qualifies you for a TikTok Shop US seller account.
By setting up a Wyoming LLC ($0 service fee + $100 state fee) and obtaining an IRS EIN ($40), Vietnamese merchants legally qualify for Stripe US and Shopify Payments. Link your account to Wise Business to receive USD payouts and withdraw directly into VND.
