How to setup a Paysite from Canada

I get asked a lot how I set up my porn site from Canada, since Paycom and CCBill won?t process for you if you live in Canada. I?m not sure exactly why, but something to do with Visa and Canadian banks. Anyways figured I?d write a simple tutorial since I am getting tired of repeating the process to people

First off what you need to do in order to get processing for your site, is set up a company in the states. I recommend incorporating someplace like Delaware or Nevada, since there are a lot of incorporation companies based there to take care of your incorporation.

For my example, I?m going to suggest http://www.nationalbusinessinc.com/ since they are the only ones I have experience with, and Tana if I remember her name correctly was extremely easy to deal with.

Go to that site, and choose Classic Incorporation or LLC Package ($595)
But you also need an American address because visa requires the paysite domain, and everything else to be based in the USA, so go ahead and also get 1 Year mail Forwarding ($300). At this point, you will need to call the IRS and request your business Tax-ID. The tax-id is the longest part of this process because it takes 3-4 weeks to send it to you, because they aren?t allowed to give it to you over the phone if you are not an American citizen. There is a way around this however; you can buy an expired LLC from National Business Inc for an extra 500 or so I believe, I don?t remember. If you?re impatient like me, I?d opt for this. You can?t choose your company name if you do this option, but they will give you a list of available companies with EXISTING tax-ids, so you don?t have to wait for your tax id to come which takes 3-4 weeks.

Now that you have your new company, and your Tax-ID you?re ready to get set up with Paycom. CCBill I believe also requires that the company owner himself live in the united states, so that?s why I went with paycom, since they allowed me to just use my Address in the states, but scan my Canadian citizenship card for them as proof of ownership of the company.

Good luck
