Where does PassionStocks operate and pay creators, and which countries aren’t supported?
1. In which countries does PassionStocks operate (i.e. where can customers buy shoutouts)?
We operate in any country supported by Stripe for merchant accounts.
That includes Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India (Preview), Indonesia (Preview), Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.
2. In which countries can creators receive payouts (i.e. where can you get paid)?
Creators can receive payouts in countries where Stripe (via Connect / cross-border payouts) supports transfers. However, payouts are subject to local banking rules, minimum payout thresholds, and verification requirements. In some “Preview” jurisdictions, payouts may be paused as Stripe works through compliance challenges.
3. What countries does PassionStocks not support (i.e. where we cannot operate or pay out)?
We cannot operate or onboard creators in jurisdictions that Stripe prohibits due to sanctions or compliance constraints — including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. Also, any country not supported by Stripe’s merchant or payout features is not supported by our platform.
