Why it matters
The Real Reason You Need This
Every dollar you spend on ads through a non-U.S. card can include currency-conversion and card fees. Use the estimate below to understand how an example rate could affect your spend.
Forex loss on ad spend
Pay Facebook, Google, TikTok, and Shopify with a U.S. card. A U.S. payment setup may reduce currency-conversion costs; actual fees depend on your providers.
Accept payments globally
Prepare to apply with services such as Stripe, PayPal, Wise, and Mercury. Availability and approval depend on each provider.
Build for global markets
A U.S. LLC can be one part of your setup for selling through marketplaces, stores, courses, and freelance work.
