No, my ucstomers would be in the US and Europe. This is a SaaS for developers. Create a US entity through Atlas is exactly what I want to avoid. I'd prefer something simpler, where I can get paid (even if they get a high cut like 5%), and then send that money to Paypal or a bank account.

Can't you just use PayPal for accepting one-time or subscription payments?

Paddle and Rebill also seem to support Argentina.

Curious why you want to avoid Atlas.

I don't want to invest money in a project that I am not sure is going to make any returns. Also, don't want to pay taxes in the US with Atlas, maintain a corporation there, etc.

A couple of my heuristics

1. Running a smaller business takes the same amount of work as running a bigger one.

2. A running a failing business takes more of the owner’s energy than running a successful one.

This thread exemplifies at least one of them because if the plan was a bigger business, you would not be spending time on alternatives to Stripe.

Business ideas can be feasible but not viable. If it does not pencil out, it doe not pencil out.

From a personal perspective the opportunity cost of starting the bigger company is all the luxuries and security that cash-in-hand brings, not to mention the possibility of an even better business opportunity arising in the future.
