Getting paid

PayPal won’t let me receive money. What can I use?

Take card payments through a Merchant of Record instead. In North Macedonia and Montenegro PayPal is send only, and in Kosovo it is not available at all. With AgentaOS your buyers pay by card or subscription, and you get paid to your own bank, or to a wallet in Kosovo, twice a month.

Where PayPal stops

Receive or send only

North Macedonia and Montenegro: PayPal’s local sites offer sending payments only. Kosovo: not on PayPal’s country list. Serbia and Albania: you can receive, and withdrawing to a local bank costs 550 RSD or 536 ALL each time. Bosnia and Herzegovina: withdrawals go to cards only.

Some platforms, like Lemon Squeezy and Gumroad, fall back to PayPal where they have no bank route, so they do not help where PayPal cannot receive.
