Stripe only supports a fixed list of countries and regions. If your business is outside it, these are the cleanest alternatives for software, SaaS, and digital products in 2026.
5 alternatives compared
Merchant of record for SaaS and AI products. Dodo publishes supported-country coverage, handles tax and compliance, and accepts sellers of any nationality — the reason we vouch for it when Stripe is not an option.
Merchant of record for software and digital products. Paddle handles tax collection and remittance for you, and its public pricing starts at 5% + $0.50 per transaction.
Open-source merchant of record for digital products. Polar handles global sales tax on sales and publishes a supported payout-country list for sellers.
Merchant of record for SaaS, AI tools, and digital products. Creem keeps pricing simple and publishes both supported-country and unsupported-country lists.
Available in more than 200 countries and regions. It is not a merchant of record, so you still handle your own tax and compliance setup.
Country support changes often. Treat preview, invite-only, or sanctions-restricted markets as blocked unless the provider’s own docs clearly say otherwise.
