Compaytence | Your Payment Processing Team💰

@stripe & @PayPal are great to start—but easy to outgrow. As you scale, you’ll need better auth rates, more flexibility, and a provider that fits your business. Serious growth needs a custom payment stack—not off-the-shelf.

“If you don’t know how to adapt, you’re not really a business owner.” Mike from Compaytence talks with Zendrop CRO Shayan about turning market shifts into opportunities—not roadblocks. #Ecom #Dropshipping #GlobalPayments

Setting up a U.S. LLC as a non-resident is possible – but it’s not just about filing paperwork. Here’s what you need to consider: ✅ Choose the right state – Each has its own tax laws, reporting rules, and privacy protections. States like Wyoming and Delaware are popular for their simplicity and low ongoing costs. ✅ Get a U.S. business address – Required for registration and often for opening business bank accounts. ✅ Apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number) –- Issued by the IRS, needed for banking, Stripe, and tax filings. ✅ Set up a U.S.-based business bank account - Fintech banks like Mercury or Relay are often the most accessible for non-residents. ✅ Understand your tax obligations – U.S. LLCs have pass-through taxation by default, but international owners may have different filing requirements. Structuring this correctly from the beginning can save a lot of time – and avoid compliance problems later. Not sure where to start or which state makes sense for your business model? Reach out – happy to walk you through it.

Seeing too many chargebacks? That’s not “just part of the business.” It might be time to rethink your suppliers, shipping timelines, and transparency. Mike from Compaytence sits down with Zendrop’s CRO Shayan to unpack what’s really behind chargeback spikes. #zendrop #ecom #Globalpayments

Most people don’t realize how Stripe’s onboarding works until it’s too late. Stripe makes it easy to start - no upfront paperwork, no calls, no compliance docs. But here’s the catch: Stripe underwrites you after you start processing. That means you can be onboarded, scale to $50K/month - and then get frozen, flagged, or shut down. Traditional payment processors are harder to get into - more paperwork upfront – but they tend to be far more stable once you’re in. So if you're building for scale, it might be worth trading short-term ease for long-term reliability. 🔍 Think long game. Build on stable rails. #Stripe #Payments #Fintech #EcommerceTips #PaymentProcessing #GlobalBusiness #Founders #SaaS #Compaytence #OnlineBusiness

Visa’s strict new rules aren’t random. New risk team members came in wanting to shake things up—without fully understanding how the industry works.

Maybe both. 👀 @disputifier #PaymentProcessing #FraudPrevention #Compaytence
