When it comes to doing business online, receiving your payment is one of the major challenges faced by entrepreneurs especially people from countries like Nigeria and Ghana. It is no news that there is a limit to countries that can receive money online through PayPal and Stripe, which are two of the most popular payment methods.
This has affected bloggers, digital marketers, dropshippers and other Africans who want to make a living online.
Crypto is also not an option, the market is very unstable and my target market were not that crypto-enlightened. Almost every online platform I signed up for – from Fiverr to Medium needed a PayPal or Stripe account and then, it dawned on me I needed to find a solution.
My Story Receiving Money As A Nigerian Web Developer
I am a Nigerian-based web developer, and a majority of my clients are from North America and Europe. Receiving my payment was a major issue because we cannot receive via PayPal and the major African-based payment processors are not able to process foreign cards.
Imagine spending thousands of Naira on ads only for your payment processor to decline their cards. I was getting the feedback that they couldn\’t pay a lot and it really set me back.
At a point I had to source for a PayPal dealer through referrals and that\’s story for another day. I began looking for solutions online and eventually ran into a Nigerian digital marketer who was running a class on how to set up a Stripe account as a Nigerian.
I saw the reviews and joined the class, did everything he taught and my account became completely set up. I began using it to send invoices and receive money immediately.

I am also able to withdraw straight to my Nigerian bank account, which is a major necessity because of the recent CBN policies concerning receiving foreign transactions to your local bank account.

This is a withdrawal I placed while writing this article. Stripe is popular because your clients do not need to have an account to make payment, unlike PayPal.
The class was however expensive and not exactly someone I would have considered if I didn\’t have my money hanging here and there.
I have been using the account to receive money ever since then and withdraw to my Nigerian account without having to stress with any third-party agents.
Why You Need A Stripe Account
Some of the reasons you need a Stripe account include:
✔️ Receive payment from clients, even when you are sleeping.
✔️ Foreigners trust it because they know you cannot see their payment details.
✔️ Setting up of the account is very easy and free.
✔️ It is more flexible than PayPal because you do not need to own an account to be able to use it.

As a non-US resident, some of the things you need to set up your Stripe account include:
