The process

How International Partner works

A clear, compliant framework that lets local individuals and foreign businesses grow together — with payments, accountability, and support built in.

Overview

Two sides, one bridge

We sit between ambitious businesses abroad and trusted locals at home — structuring every relationship so both sides win.

1. Discovery

Businesses from the Balkans and beyond tell us which market they need — UK, USA, Australia, or Greece. Partners in those countries apply to represent operations locally.

2. Vetting & matching

We verify identity, financial standing, and intent on both sides. Then we match partners to businesses based on market, volume, and fit.

3. Account setup

International Partner pays for and coordinates setup of Stripe, Square, and other merchant accounts in the partner's legal name. Contracts define roles and fund flows.

4. Client payments

End customers pay the local partner through familiar, trusted payment methods. Funds land in the partner's merchant account first.

5. Partner commission

The partner retains 5% of each transaction as commission — automatically accounted for in the agreed settlement process.

6. Settlement to business

Remaining funds are forwarded to the business according to the partnership agreement. International Partner monitors compliance throughout.

Payment flow

Where the money goes

Important: All partnerships operate under written agreements that define tax obligations, reporting duties, and fund routing. Partners must comply with local laws in their country.

Client → Local partner (Stripe/Square) → Partner keeps 5% → Balance to business per contract. International Partner does not hold client funds; we provide structure, support, and oversight.

Supported platforms

We help partners establish accounts on leading payment processors:

  • ✓ Stripe
  • ✓ Square
  • ✓ Additional processors by market
