MailerLite digital products when Stripe is not available in my country: how do I sell?
The problem“My list is on MailerLite and my ebook is ready. MailerLite asks me to connect Stripe, and Stripe does not open accounts in my country.”
If you want to sell MailerLite digital products and Stripe is not available in your country, MailerLite has no second route today. It says "We use Stripe as our payments processor" and "We will consider adding more payment options in the future as we understand that Stripe is not available in all countries." For digital products and fixed-price service packages, the route that works is to keep your list on MailerLite and link a button to an outside checkout run by a merchant of record that pays out to your country, with no Stripe account of your own. Physical products are different: you need a local payment gateway, and this page is not for you.
What does MailerLite use to take payment for digital products?
Stripe, and only Stripe. MailerLite's help page says: "To use Digital products, you will need to connect a Stripe account to MailerLite" (MailerLite, Create a digital product). You connect it under Integrations, where a popup asks you "to create or log in to your Stripe account".
MailerLite has two ways to sell, and both need that Stripe account:
- Digital products, made in MailerLite. "Currently, it is only possible to create one-time downloadable digital products within MailerLite." For delivery, "you can upload images, ePUB, or PDF files, or redirect purchasers to an external URL." The plan limits are 1 product on Free, 5 on Comfort and unlimited on Power (MailerLite, Sell digital products).
- Stripe products, shown in MailerLite. "The products that you sell must first be created in your Stripe dashboard", and "The minimum price of the product has to be $0.50 for the integration to work" (MailerLite, How to Sell Stripe Products).
This page covers digital products only: ebooks, templates, courses. It does not cover paid newsletter subscriptions.
What do MailerLite and Stripe say when Stripe is not in your country?
MailerLite says it plainly, and offers nothing else yet. Under "What payment processors are supported?" it answers: "We use Stripe as our payments processor. Stripe is a world-leading finance software and ensures the highest fraud protection for our customers. We will consider adding more payment options in the future as we understand that Stripe is not available in all countries." Its launch post adds: "Since the secure payments are powered by Stripe, you must be located in a country supported by the platform" (MailerLite blog).
Stripe's side is its country list. N. Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania are not on Stripe's list, checked 10 November 2026. If your country is missing there, the Connect Stripe step in MailerLite has nowhere to go.
MailerLite is not alone in this: beehiiv's help page says "Stripe does not support all countries" and that digital product orders are processed through a connected Stripe account (beehiiv, read by our research on 10 November 2026, page marked "Updated: Oct 1, 2026").
Can a MailerLite button link to an outside checkout?
In an email, yes. MailerLite's Rich-text editor has a Button block: "Add a Call-To-Action (CTA) Button to your newsletter to link your subscribers to a specific URL. Choose whether you want it to open in a new tab or not" (MailerLite, Rich-text editor). In the Drag & drop editor, the pencil icon opens a block's settings, where you add its "texts, URLs, and images" (MailerLite, Drag & drop editor).
For text links, MailerLite says: "In the editor of your email campaign or website, select the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink", then "Paste or type the URL you want to link to in the provided field. Make sure it starts with http:// or https:// for proper functionality" (MailerLite, hyperlinks).
We did not find a MailerLite help page that describes a button to an outside URL on a landing page. If the button there does not take your link, use a text link.
The Product block is not the same thing. It shows products from your MailerLite store, and those need Stripe. Use a normal button instead.

| Merchant of record (AgentaOS) linked from a MailerLite button | AgentaOS, as the legal seller | Yes, individuals and companies, paid to your own bank in EUR or USD in 86 countries | Digital products and service packages only; checkout opens outside MailerLite | Facts · MailerLite |
All checked 10 November 2026. Lists change; check yours on Stripe's own page.
AgentaOS charges 4.5% + €0.50 per card sale, or 6.0% + €0.50 for cards issued outside the EEA, with no monthly fee (facts). AgentaOS is the official seller, so it handles the buyer's VAT or sales tax and the invoice on each sale.
How do I sell digital products from MailerLite without Stripe, step by step?
- Check your own options. Open Stripe's country list. If your country is on it, connect Stripe in MailerLite under Integrations and stop here.
- Confirm what you sell. This route is for downloads, software, templates, courses and fixed-price service packages. If you ship physical goods, look for a local payment gateway instead.
- Create the product. In AgentaOS, create a product with a name, a price in EUR or USD and the type One-time, then copy its buyer link (payment links docs). Buyers pay by card.
- Send buyers to a thank-you page after they pay. Under After payment, click + Redirect buyers after payment and enter a Success URL: a thank-you page with the download link or, for a service, the booking form. Keep that page out of your menu.
- Link your MailerLite button. In the Rich-text editor, hover over a line, click the plus sign, choose Button and paste the buyer link as its URL. In the Drag & drop editor, click the pencil icon on the button, paste the link and click Save.
- Say what the buyer gets. Next to the button, state the price, what they receive and when. For a service package, name the delivery date. Send the email to yourself first and click the button.
- Get paid and declare it. AgentaOS pays out to your own bank in EUR or USD (N. Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania). Declare the income at home; ask a local accountant.
There is no AgentaOS integration in MailerLite. You connect the two with a button link. (On WordPress there is a plugin.)
Checklist: before you sell from MailerLite with an outside checkout
- ✓Your country checked on Stripe's list
- ✓You sell digital products or service packages, not physical goods
- ✓A EUR or USD account at your bank
- ✓Product created with a clear name and price, type One-time
- ✓Success URL set to a thank-you page with the download link
- ✓MailerLite button linked to the buyer link and tested from an email sent to yourself

When is AgentaOS the wrong choice?
If Stripe serves your country, use MailerLite's own Digital products: orders stay inside MailerLite. If you sell physical products, AgentaOS does not support them. If you want to sell a paid newsletter subscription, this page does not cover it. New accounts and service packages start with up to 15% of each sale set aside for 120 days; a service paid now and delivered later can have up to 100% held until delivery plus 120 days (Terms, section 9.2).
