Founders in unsupported countries can't take payments
Reddit · r/SaaSmoderate signalpainkiller2026-10-15
Pain point
"I'm from Iraq and can't use Stripe or PayPal. How can I sell subscriptions to my software?" — literal blocker on all revenue.
Signal
Moderate — only 8 upvotes, but the title *is* a direct purchase-intent question, and this recurs constantly across founder communities (Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran-adjacent).
Opportunity
(a) Low-effort: a maintained "Stripe alternatives by country" comparison site + onboarding guides, monetized by MoR affiliate referrals — buildable in a weekend, SEO-durable. (b) Hard: a true MoR/entity-formation bundle (US LLC + bank + MoR) for excluded-country founders; big compliance/KYC lift and real sanctions risk.
