Lemon Squeezy to Stripe Managed Payments: what if your country is not supported?
The problem“Lemon Squeezy is moving to Stripe. My country is not on Stripe’s list. What do I do?”
The Lemon Squeezy move to Stripe Managed Payments only works if Stripe accepts your country and your product. Stripe Managed Payments lists 37 business locations, and N. Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, Nigeria and India are not among them. It also does not accept professional services or live 1:1 coaching, so those sellers need another merchant of record.
What are the key facts?
- Who bought whom: Stripe acquired Lemon Squeezy in 2024 (Lemon Squeezy).
- Where Lemon Squeezy users are headed: Stripe Managed Payments, which Lemon Squeezy’s CEO calls “Stripe’s merchant of record solution” (same source).
- Which business locations Stripe accepts: 37, listed below (Stripe docs).
- Which products Stripe does not accept: physical goods, professional services, live in-person events, and anything with human intervention such as live 1:1 coaching (same source).
- What we did not find: a published Stripe Managed Payments fee we could verify, or a Lemon Squeezy end date. This page quotes neither.
Who is this for?
You sell software, SaaS, templates or online courses on Lemon Squeezy today. You live in a country that Stripe Managed Payments does not list, or you sell a service such as coaching. You want to know if the move to Stripe includes you, and what to do if it does not.
If you are in one of the 37 listed locations and sell a fully digital product, the move Lemon Squeezy describes is probably built for you. See “When is AgentaOS the wrong choice?” below.
What did Lemon Squeezy and Stripe say?
On 28 January 2026, Lemon Squeezy CEO JR Farr wrote: “Today Managed Payments support merchants in 35+ countries and we’re expanding to more later this year. If you do not operate in a country that Stripe supports, check out Atlas where you can incorporate your own C-Corp or LLC.” And: “Our goal is to provide Lemon Squeezy users an easy way to migrate to Stripe Managed Payments.” (Lemon Squeezy, 2026 Update)
Stripe’s eligibility page, checked 9 November 2026, says: “If your service involves human intervention (such as live 1-1 coaching), it doesn’t qualify as a digital product that Managed Payments supports.” It also supports direct integrations only, not Connect platforms (Stripe docs).
So the official answer for a seller outside the list is to open a company in a supported country. The other route is a merchant of record that already pays out to your country.

Is my product supported?
- SaaS, software, online courses: Stripe Managed Payments yes. AgentaOS yes.
- Templates, downloads, e-books: Stripe accepts digital media. AgentaOS yes (Terms).
- Fixed-price service packages (same scope, deliverable and price for every buyer): Stripe Managed Payments no, it excludes professional services. AgentaOS yes, once your account is approved for Service Packages.

What would a $29 SaaS plan leave you?
AgentaOS charges 4.5% + €0.50 per sale, with no monthly fee, plus 1.5% on cards issued outside the EEA (pricing). The fixed part is charged in the sale’s currency, so it is $0.50 on a dollar sale (Terms).

| Total fee | $2.24 |
| You keep, per $29 payment | $26.76 |
Payment fees only. Fees are calculated on the full amount the buyer pays, tax included. On a new account, up to 15% of each sale is held for 120 days, then released (Terms).
How do I move off Lemon Squeezy if I am not eligible, step by step?
- Check your location. Find your country on Stripe’s list. If it is there, read Stripe’s terms first.
- Check your product. If you sell services or coaching, compare your offer to Stripe’s excluded categories and to our Terms.
- Check where you can be paid. Open your country guide and note the payout route and currency (EUR or USD).
- Save your records. Keep a copy of your products, prices, customer emails and active subscriptions from Lemon Squeezy.
- Recreate your products and prices in AgentaOS. Sign up as an individual or a company and add the bank account for your payouts.
- Swap your checkout links on your site or in your app, then make one real test purchase. Your own purchase counts as a test: it is not refundable and settles to your balance, less the fee (Terms).
- Move existing subscribers on your schedule. Email them a new checkout link with a clear date. Keep Lemon Squeezy running for anyone who has not moved yet.
