ah, I see. Can you talk to an accountant? There should be a form of fiscal entity that is not very expensive. In all the countries I lived in, there was something. In the end, what the government wants is to tax you. You could try contacting Stripe support, they are very helpful



As far as I know, PayPal has subscriptions. And they accept credit card payments. They also have a Stripe competitor "braintree payments". But I'm not sure of their requirements for subscriptions. They might ask for some license number too. When I integrated them, it was always through either a limited-liability or a self-employment. I used both Paypal and Braintree in the past, but Stripe is the gold standard.
Thank you for the insights

I'll try paypal and see how that goes.
