Ask HN: How do you accept payments as an European MVP builder in SF?

What is the best (where best means as cheaper as possible in one month time) way to merge stripe/dwolla/paypal into your MVP, with no SSN, no EIN, and no US cofounder/attorney? Anybody with similar problem right now/in the past? Do you suggest me to incorporate?

Approaching this issue as an Australian startup the easiest solution I found was to use Chargebee and Worldpay. Great support from the team at Chargebee too.

Thank you, checking out right now!

Create an LLC, and use the EIN from that. As far as my experience goes with US banking, there is nothing to stop a foreign national from owning an LLC.

Thank you very much Greg, would you do that in SF, if it was you?

I don't see what SF has to do with it. It would be a California LLC.
