It won't be more tricky to form a business in a supported country, but it will be more costly. There is no way around their restriction though.

Stinks because Stripe is really good.

Thanks

Most likely not since Authorize is very US centric.

Not sure what you mean by pre-approved payments? Do you mean authorizing and capturing at a later date? Or for subscription type business? THere are lots of alternatives but its hard to help when you dont say what country...

Yes exactly. And the country is Czech Republic. I would rather make Stripe work for me than look for alternatives honestly. Setting up LLC in US is not even the biggest challenge. The problem is bank account as Stripe doesn't offer any other payout method.

Any merchant account will allow you to authorize and capture at a later date. You said you don't like PayPal but you just won't be able to use Stripe without opening an account in US, Canada, UK or Ireland (Ireland might be a better bet).

I am assuming you are accepting payment in Euros. Just based on quick research here are a few that might work for you. Some are just gateways and some are merchant account and gateways:

QuickPay | Payment Service Provider - Secure. Reliable. Dynamic.

Only option I see is form a LLC which will be little tricky as a non citizen and honestly more hustle than I wish to go through just for a payment processor. Thanks

Why do you need Stripe in particular? Just get another processor and gateway or use something like 2co or Payza.

Like I said Stripe is the only one who allows pre-approved payments....at least from what I have found. US bank account is now my only problem :-/

  There are many many out-of-country owners that have U.S. bank accounts. Have you even done a tiny bit of research on it?

  Yes i have done a tiny bit of research and no bank will open a bank account for me without my physical presence. There are companies who can make an introduction to the bank for me and if i provide a letter of good intend from my local bank it might go somewhere. But its not an easy process with no guaranteed results
  
  Thanks

Your best alternative would be Paypal Express Checkout or Paypal Payments Pro if you want to accept credit card payments and not have to send your customer to the Paypal site.

I would rather give my service away for free than trust paypal with my business. Unfortunately yes they are the only real alternative but i have nothing but bad experience with them

Thanks

2checkout may be a good option for you. It allows people to still use paypal as a payment as well as major credit cards. It is safe and a reputable processor.

I think there's really nothing that you could do if they have imposed restrictions to your country. The best way to sort this out is either you will look for alternatives or call Stripe and see if they can help you figure out on what to do.

Authorize.net is a good option by the way. Or for more Stripe alternatives, check this spreadsheet - http://goo.gl/ESjHH6
