Which countries can I open a Stripe account in?
Updated 12 October 2026
Stripe lists about 42 countries for new accounts, including the US, UK, UAE, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Japan and most of Europe.
- India and Indonesia are marked Preview, which means invite or contact sales, not self sign-up.
- Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Egypt are not on the list.
- Check Stripe's global page for your country before you plan on it.
- No Stripe? You can still take cash and pay-on-pickup orders.
Take orders even where Stripe isn't open
Where Stripe is open, online payments go to your own Stripe account. Elsewhere, take cash and pay-on-pickup orders on your Menuthere site.
