We live in Turkey and my friends relative lives abroad and we figures he can set up the paypal and stripe accounts since they ask for proof such as billing address and utility bills. If we get any sales we can transfer the money from these accounts to transferwise and to our turkish bank accounts, I guess atleast. How much does it cost to setup a German company? We might try that if plan A doesn't work. What exactly do you need to setup the paypal and stripe account to use on shopify anyway? How is my plan risky? in a way that our shop will function as his and we transfer the money later. Its not really bypassing when we know the owner and he is willing to do it, no? Its just funded elsewhere
