Stripe does not directly serve companies registered in Turkey; however, opening a Stripe account through the right country setup is entirely possible and legal. World Company Setup manages the entire process for you, from company formation to bank account opening and Stripe approval.

Stripe is a developer-friendly online payment infrastructure preferred by millions of e-commerce and SaaS businesses worldwide. Capable of processing credit card, debit card, and digital wallet payments in over 135 currencies, Stripe has become the standard for subscription-based services, digital products, and businesses expanding into global markets.
However, Stripe does not provide direct services to companies registered in Turkey or to Turkish bank accounts. This is because Stripe can only open accounts for companies officially registered in the countries it supports (such as the US, UK, and UAE). This doesn't mean entrepreneurs from Turkey cannot use Stripe; with the right company structure set up in an eligible country, you can access Stripe completely legally.
The most commonly preferred structure for Stripe access is forming an LLC in the United States, which stands out for both its fast formation process and broad Stripe infrastructure support. Alternatively, forming an LTD company in the United Kingdom is also a strong option for businesses targeting the European market. Businesses focused on the Middle East market can instead access both a Stripe UAE account and regional payment providers by setting up a company in Dubai.
Which country is right for you depends on your target market, invoicing currency, and tax planning. At World Company Setup, we determine the most suitable country-structure combination for your business needs together during a free initial consultation.
The Stripe account opening process consists of clear steps when planned correctly:
When all documents are complete and meet Stripe's criteria, the account typically becomes active within 1-3 business days.
Stripe's standard commission rate is approximately 2.9% + $0.30 USD per transaction for US cards. Additional fees may apply for international cards and currency conversions. Custom pricing options are also available for businesses with high transaction volumes.
Note: The rates above are current as of July 2026 and may be changed by Stripe without prior notice. We recommend checking Stripe's official website for current rates and fees.
At World Company Setup, we manage every step of the Stripe account opening process under one roof: from choosing the right country to company formation, bank account opening, and Stripe application approval.
