Is there a way to use Stripe in unsupported countries?

I am using Braintree on https://pingml.com. I would like to use Stripe on my second product https://crawly.app. Since, everyone knows that Braintree has very strict and weird procedure for business plans. Unfortunately, Stripe does not support Hungary. Is there any way to use Stripe in unsupported country?

    Apply at "Stripe Atlas" - https://stripe.com/atlas

    They will charge 500$ for various work like setting up Delaware US company etc.,

      Beware of all the tax implications.

        This!!!

        Exposing yourself to one of the worst tax regimes in the world simply because you want to use Stripe does not make any sense.

        @brunolemos, can you provide more detail on "Tax implications" - I have plan to use stripe atlas soon. Your information will help.

      Thanks for your suggestion but it seems that Its for big scale companies. I was thinking to use a payment gateway that wont give headache🤔

      Sometimes after the payment, they don't accept businesses for some reasons. So, be careful.

    Can someone clarify why stripe does not support some East European/Asian countries?

    Is it down to business risk or is it due to legal factors that preclude operations in those countries?

    How about Paddle.com

    They support a lot of countries and are designed for SaaS businesses. I haven't used then though.
